"Testing" For Withdrawal
Long story short, had two periods of sobriety in the last 4-5 years. One stint was about a month and the other about 2.5 weeks. Both times no withdrawal symptoms other than irritability and battling hard against the cravings. Fast forward, I'm now a father of three and a husband and of course there is the career. I'm off work right now due to depression, anxiety and panic disorder and yes alcohol use disorder.
My issue (excuse?) - I am so scared of withdrawal that I'm somehow unwilling to even try and just trying to slug along. I have a fam doctor, psychiatrist and therapist to help me along.
My test - I went a full 24 hours. No seizures. No headaches. No trembles. Nothing out of the ordinary really except the worry and the fear. Some confidence restored in my crazy mind.
My question - Anyone with a similar situation or experience? I guess really I'm searching for some good resources to take the leap and battle through the early days? I'm tired of finding click-bait webpages.
