Hi everyone. I'm new to this group but not to SR. I've been here for about three years. I've had a few stretches of sobriety - the longest being nine months.
I've been drinking heavily again for the past couple of months. Every day for the past few weeks, I think about stopping. I started the stopping process again yesterday. I wasn't able to go off completely. I had some horrible withdrawal systems last night - mostly extremely elevated blood pressure. I didn't desire to drink at all but my body would not cooperate. I honestly felt as if I would end up in an ambulance.
So today, I'm working on this again. I'm not sure if my body will allow me to be 100% alcohol free tonight but I know it will be much less than the past few weeks. So far, I'm 19 hours sober. It's the longest I have been in a few weeks.
Nice to meet all of you and good luck on your sober journey.
Hope
