I am with the August class but wanted to pop in and welcome the Sept class.
1 month ago while in the midst of a foggy headed, anxiety ridden, feeling shakey, nauseated, and weak detox I googled "alcohol withdrawal" and this site was one of the top hits. I started reading everyone's different stories and saw all the unbelievable support and immediately didn't feel so alone.
Needless to say, I decided to join the community and remain active and it's been one of the most helpful tools I have. Acknowledging the problem and deciding to take action are the first steps towards recovery. It's been a lot of work, with a lot of ups and downs, but the ups make the downs worth it.
Focus on a plan for change. Take the time to nurture yourself. That's my best piece of advice. Again welcome to SR and I am glad you are here
