Welcome, dbr! I am so glad you're here. SR has been a huge part of my getting and staying sober. I was an utter mess during withdrawals-I went to a public detox center and had seizures there so spent over a week in hospital before 2 months of inpatient rehab, so I don't remember much about the first days except that they included horrifying audio and visual hallucinations and altered mental status-I was mentally and physically out of it. On December 23 I had 2 years of sobriety, so even as far gone as I was there is still hope for a good life.
Taking lots of B vitamins (particularly thiamine) helped me, as alcohol depletes them from our bodies. Wishing you all the best on your sober journey.
