was given a drink diary by the detox place to fill in over the next week while i wait for the funding to be sorted out for the bed, to get a better idea of how much i'm actually drinking. just kept writing down what i'm going through...

it's only one day right now but jesus christ, i didn't even know how much i was getting through...

last night i drank an entire bottle of sambuca, today i had 9 shots of sambuca in the pub, at home i've gone through one and a half bottles of red wine along with a quart of vodka....

but like if i hadn't been writing this down i wouldn't have given it half a thought...so since last night i've gone through around 60 units? i had no idea i was actually drinking this much,,,

Welcome to SoberRecovery!

Detox is a great choice. Just approach it with the attitude that it is going to save your life!

Trying to stop drinking altogether would be more beneficial laz

have you got a sober plan ?

lycanlaz

well that's the idea. i don't want to drink.

my only plan right now is to get into the detox. i feel like i'm living a minute at a time right now.

Hi Lycanlaz, that's a pretty healthy amount of alcohol. I think your plan is great, just get to detox, once there, let them take over. You'll be fine, glad you are making the right choice. Hang in there.

Hi.

With that amount of drinking I strongly recommend a detox and or medical over guidance when stopping as the body will be put into a shock mode.

I needed to realize that stopping drinking and recovery are 2 separate paths. I was taught early on if I just stopped drinking and dis not work on the many reasons I drank I would return to drinking.
I was mocus for a period and concentrated on just not drinking until I felt I needed more in my life and started to work on changing the drinking personality.

BE WELL
