Just read this whole thread, I think your in for a tough couple days, but I know you'll get through it. Don't dig your hole any deeper, its time to put an end to the madness. Agree?

I feel anxious for you just remembering how it feels. Please do reach out for help if things get too unbearable. I let myself get to the point I could not longer do it on my own.

Hugs, stargazer...you got this. Get medical attention if/when needed. We're here for you. Keep checking in.
Soon enough you'll be on the other side of this nightmare and getting sober for good.

Hope you're doing well SG
Some things that helped me through my withdrawal was trying to drink as much water as possible each day, while supplementing with electrolytes, Gatorade is good.
(Alcohol is a diuretic which makes us urinate which causes massive electrolyte loss)
As soon as I felt I was hungry and wasn't too nauseous I started with soup and sandwiches and worked up after the first couple days.
Hopefully you can sleep but I had issues. I wouldn't recommend Benadryl and melatonin but I used them getting positive results after day 3 with them.

Updating again. I can move my fingers.
I am utterly depersonalized.
I don't even know how to explain anything.
I think when I can articulate what I'm thinking, this might almost actually be of value somewhere to something. Here is what life is like when alcohol becomes your slaver.
I cannot move. I have given up moving. My body is made of lead. I have been watching Sam Harris debates on youtube about the existence of God in my lucid moment. Sometimes... William Lane Craig And Sam Harris will literally come popping out of the screen at me like a hologram. It's mind blowing. What I find crazy AF, is that I blink and blink and blink to get the weird semi-hallucination out of my head, and it persists.
Hahahahahahahahaa
I'm nuts.
Hahahahahahahaa.
Holy hell this is unbelievable.
Why am I even typing?

... Did anyone else feel like they were totally losing their mind while going through this?
Autonomically my heart is beating really hard, I'm very sweaty, I cannot eat, I am still coherent, I cannot move, I am not thirsty, I am on the brink of nauseous, I am twitchy and I am completely spaced out and hallucinating.
So I have managed to edit a mundane and stupid post to fulfill my objective, which was to describe exactly what is going to happen when the rubber meets the road.
