I couldn't get a to see a doctor until this coming Tuesday so decided to go cold turkey. Felt nausea yesterday but slept well. I'm still using weed to get through the first week of alcohol as I am on no meds. I know it's not the best but it helps me sleep. I've got bad headaches and anxiety tonight.... I've got work in the morning so hope I can drag myself through that.
I went through a medical detox a few years ago for alcohol and had two years sobriety....
I would like to try the 12 steps but I'm too scared to go to AA in case I bump into someone from work.
Good luck to all else has stopped.
I was SCARED to death about going to AA. Felt great once I got over the fear. Going tonight to keep my spirits and resolve up on this journey. I really want to change, so I'm exhausting all of my options.i would suggest just dropping in to an open meeting. Or if you are serious, a closed meeting.
