Tomorrow is D day!
Well, I have spent the weekend thinking and drinking, in moderation during the day.. heavy at night. But tomorrow at 8:30 I will be at my Dr.s appt it was pre-scheduled to go over some bloodwork so this should be interesting. anyway, it's weird to think that after tomorrow morning I will *hopefully* never drink again! Giving me a bit of anxiety just thinking how am I going to manage without it.. I have been drinking everyday for the past 3mos no less than 20oz over a 6hr period. Well we'll see how things go.... have a great day everryone!

Good for you, for deciding to give it up! 
It can be a bumpy road to sobriety, but it's worth the effort. Glad you're seeing the doctor. Are you going to ask for medical help during your detox? I hope it goes well for you.

Hey guys...... well I am out of Detox... holy crap the first 24hrs were hell... the first night the anxiety level was so high ..thank goodness for Valium..but only needed it the first night, the next morning the physical withdrawal started... ugh that was not any fun at all... but that afternoon I meditated for 1.5hrs and felt like the fog had cleared from my brain and soul... from then on I was good.. no meds, no problems.. I was the only one on the unit with no meds.. and now I feel fantastic and looking forward to a life of Sobriety... you will see me around here alot as there is a waiting list for an addictions counselor and no other meetings but AA and AA though a great program doesn't work for me because of the strong religious attachment... thanks everyone for all your support and like I said .. you'll see me here as a regular!!!!
