Hey guys...Here's the situation. The holidays are tough for me. The whole past 2 months have been really tough, period. I can go 7-10 days clean then I go out and drink really hard for 3 days and keep repeating that. My question is if anyone has any input on that dreaded "24-48 hour" time period when your body is getting adjusted to being itself again? I ask this because All of my family is out of town along with my sponser and I just feel alone right now. I don't want to pick up a drink tomorrow but I feel like that is my only way to cope

Hi, Woody. I can certainly relate to not being able to amass any length of sober time without horrible anxiety and fear breaking down any defenses.
My doctor recommended that I take Campral, which has really helped. I know it's not reasonable to ask to start a prescription over the holidays, but maybe it's sometime you can look into?
I made 3 months sobriety on the 20th of November. Made it through Thanksgiving with nothing harder than the bubbles in my club soda.
You can do it, Woody. Again, for me the anxiety and fear were crippling. It's possible to get beyond it, truly.
