| Hi Everybody From the New Newbie Hmmmm...Where do I start? Well, of course, I'm new here, forums & blogs. I had to learn how to post this thread. We'll see if I did it right. Okay, first of all, thank God for you guys! This was the first forum on my Google results so here I am. I'm not sure how to begin. I'm hoping through this forum and website I can achieve sobriety. I know I will. Second matter of business, what resources can I find here educate on the quitting and abstinence steps of alcohol? Honestly, I found myself having trouble navigating through. I didn't know if the resources were in the forum area or on the general site. I'm a doofus sometimes! Anyhoo, before I start babbling I'm gonna go. Thanx again! -Mike |

| My goodness! The detoxing process is frightening! I took an out-of-town job last year where I COULDN'T drink and didn't have the severe issues. My blood pressure was high but I think that was me being overweight (I did lose 55lbs!) and I got my BP somewhat back in check. I had alot of trouble sleeping. I always have. My noggin won't shut up. I thought about getting Lunestra but I dunno. Thanx everyone for your help. I'm gonna get off here for awhile. BBL! |
