Is this normal ? Help !

Day 4 sober today and loving it ! I am doing well.

Ended up extreme 4 day bender on Sunday, but even today I feel completely OUT OF IT !! I make sense when I talk, head feels clouded and my sense of balance isn't all that great.... I bet I got alcohol poisoning, what should I do ?

Been drinking tons, eating and taking multivitamins.

Thanks.

TG, one way to look at it.
Extreme bender = extreme withdrawal time.
You and I have already discussed this.
Sounds like you're where you're supposed to be.
If you stopped during the day Sunday, tonight will be the fourth night, and sleep should come easier, and you should start feeling a clear mind soon.
Be attentive to your body, and the rest will soon follow.

congradulations on Day 4!

Re alcohol poisening........ from what I understand, if you had alcohol poisening you'd be in an ER somewhere, strapped to a guerney.

It really does sound like you're where you should be at this time!

Listen to DD.

Also, the first 4 days have been HELL as you all noted... Not only did I feel like complete crap, I had to do presentations at work and attend a few important meetings as well as a golf game with clients.. Splendra, this last bender/hangover is doing wonderfull things to my recovery...

Congrats to you on day 5 TG, thats wonderful.... hang in there it does get better. I think its great that you are remembering your last drink, it helps to think, think, think the drink through, to the ultimate conclusion.

Day 5, 6, or 7 isn't what you have to worry about. It's week two, three, four when you start to tell yourself days 4, 5, and 6, weren't really all that bad and you get to feeling like my little friend here.....

Day 5, yaaaaaaaay! You should be heading to the end of whatever detoxing you are going through.

Strawberry...... all we ever have is 1 day (at a time), so make it a good one today. Pulling for you.
