Sorry to all you guys struggling
Renee you don;t have to wait to get to a meeting if thats what you're thinking - if you don't want to drink, you can find an excuse, but no thanks is about as powerful as you get.
If some part of you does want to drink, well thats a different matter - read some of your old posts maybe and remember what you're doing this for?
For me I started getting better when I realised this wasn't about willpower, it was about addiction - and about accepting that addiction...
the only way to get better and stay that way is to not ingest the stuff I'd become addicted to.
It's not about willpower - I think of drinking alcohol now like drinking battery acid - it's an insane thing for me to do.
Cherry - it is probably detox, but please see your doctor if symptoms persist. I found multivitamins useful in early recovery - but don;t take that as medical advice LOL.
Cath - get to that meeting
Good to see the commitment here, guys
