Thanks for being there in chat last night. For others, after 24 years of sobriety, I started drinking last Monday and need some people to talk too, to explore why. I've got 4 beers and 5-6 shots of schnapps...then no more.

Welcome to the forum part of SR Baretree.

Please think about dumping what you have there - as one who's been there, I think it's never too soon to start stopping, if you get me

and pls, see a Dr about detox.

Dee...I'm reaching out here...which is incredibly hard for me. I'll be honest...I'm finishing what I got.

As 1 of the millions without insurance a doctor is out of the question. I couldn't even get a tetnus shot when I needed one without going to emergency room. Which I wouldn't do.

I did go thru a hospital detox 24 yrs ago and had some withdrawal symptons, but I would think detox would not be necesary after a week of drinking...Am I wrong?

Baretree, welcome.


A week, maybe, maybe not. I've been through a few, some scary, some not.

No way to tell. I mean, beforehand.

& I know about no insurance... right there with you buddy.
Just, if anything seems amiss, call 911, or go to the ER. Don't bring your ID. I didn't just say that...

And come back to us, either posting or in the chat rooms. There is plenty of support here on SR.

I don't know what detox would be like for you after one week. You had a long run without alcohol. The sooner you stop the easier it will be. You may not be in the habit of drinking everyday yet. It will be easier to stop now rather than later. I hope the best for you. It sure would be sad to go back to where you were after such a long run of sobriety.

Thanks for sharing.

Why does it feel normal to do things on facebook i.e. Cigars for all, but it seems awkward when I think about doing it sober?

Grand experiement....conclusion....I need help...Definitely can not drink. But drinking helps on the social aspects...what to do. I'd be dead if I drank all these years.

I see I scared everybody away.

CarolD

baretree....the Forums are not like Chat.
Think of them as bulltin boards

you share ...others come back to read and reply.

Chat is more like live conversations.

Your correct our auto censor kicked in.

Gypsy Feet

hi bt, and welcome. I am sorry you are hurting and scared. I was there more than once.

caleb76

I don't think anyone was scared away. We just didn't know how to respond to that.

baretree

23 years, 11 months, 2 days sober, 7 days drunk, 1 day sober.

The thought never crossed my mind that I'd be participating in Alcoholism forum when I picked up that drink Last Monday. Last time I drank there was not this tool to help. wow!!!

Woke up this morning shaking and anxious, but determined.

baretree

Maybe this would be better in blog than forum...still finding stuff on this sight

Just go to "Blogs" then "your blog" and you can post away
