that frantic feeling sadly I guess I have seriously progressed further - because most days quitting is forefront in my mind - but seriously when your mind & heart is physically racing at that time at the start of a day about quitting...wtf?? |
dying inside mentally is part of it right? |
Have you thought about getting medical help for the racing heart and anxiety part of the detox? A few days of medical help is all that is needed to get past that part of it - it's not expensive and you don't (always) have to check in anywhere. Dying inside mentally was part of my addiction. It's been all uphill since I quit. It gets better really quickly. It's worth it. |
I feel like I'm dying inside too try2again but am thinking, hoping, that it might be necessary for new life :VGRearth: |
Those AA paradoxes. We surrender to win, die to be reborn, give it away to keep it. Which might be why the person who only ever breathes in will eventually suffocate. |

There is no shame in a hand up, if you need it to quit. By hand up, I mean Xanax. |
I avoid all things medical for some reason - fear probably I do have asthma & make my meds last beyond as long as possible |
I messed my health up so bad DR told me to quit or die soon . When you quit you get your life back to live again . Does get better with time , but you have to decide to live your life . Not drink it way :( Was on anxiety meds for awhile at first . Took that frantic feeling away till I got more sober time in . |

He says, "I don't go to doctors. They'll kill me." He thinks they will find something wrong that isn't already there and then make it worse rather than treat it. It's nonsense. It's just really not true. Start taking caring of you. |

Doctors are practicing. Practicing on me is not permitted. |
