I have been drinking heavily for such a long time i cannot even remember the last day i didnt drink.
Will these feelings go??
Anyone got any advice on how i get through these first few days???
Thanks Tizzkins
Hello Hun,
these sound like withdrawals which i suffered when i recently moved back home with my family, we decided to cut down what i was drinking to one a night to ween me of which actually turned out to be quite dangerous i was doing and feeling great until i was walking through the middle of a shop and had a seizure and nearly died in my mums arms. I was hospitalised immediately and fortunately i got medication that calmed the nervous system so it wouldn't effect you me as much as soon as i got out of hospital i stopped drinking all together and had no withdrawals since it does get easier.
im now 2 days sober ( from the last time i drank
)
your doing really well the first few days i was sweating, itching agitated felt sick etc keep pulling through your doing great xx
