Sunday still sweating and shaky but praying --- i hope this passes soon
I never want to feel like this again.
How many days will this take, maybe i'm permanently like this nowUGG
Thank you all for words and prayers, it is helping me giving me hope.

Hey Tiffany, Keep checking in, you can do this I know you can. Drink as much water as you can and rest.

Tiffany, the withdrawl symptoms will pass. You'll need to be vigilant when they do, because that little voice just may tempt you all over again. Never forget how bad you're feeling now. It'll help in the future.

Right there with you.

It's the worst thing in the world, and the anxiety that goes with it (for me) was even worse than the physical stuff.

Hang in there, stay hydrated and take lots of showers.
Eat if you can. Don't drink more booze no matter what.

It will be much much better day by day

Hi Tiffany. I'm glad you're here. I hope you felt a little better as the day went on? Things should ease up soon - & then you'll never have to go through withdrawal again. It'll be such a relief to be free of it.

You absolutely can get it back and never have to go through this again, you just need to make a few little steps in the right direction. Start going to AA daily, call up an addiction center, look into rehab, whatever it takes.

went to my home group and they welcomed me back with open arms. it was hard to walk in there today. i cried a lot. both speakers shared about not being a first time winner and that if anyone is coming back keep coming, i felt like i really needed to hear that. i was able to eat dinner tonight and iwant to remember this. i need to look in the mirror every day and tell myself i am this no matter how good or bad i feel, i am an alcoholic and cannot drink. not even 1. or a couple or whatever the bs is that i tell myself when i think this time it will be different.or i'll get away with it or whatever.
i hope i can feel better tomorrow. thank you all for prayers and support it means a lot.

starting to feel better!! please how can i save this so i can see how agonizing detoxing is....
omg, it was HORRIBLE -

Hawkeye13

That's the nice / terrible thing about SR

Posts are here forever

So glad you are feeling better

Yep detoxing stinks on ice. I've been through it many times, each subsequent time was worse by a factor of ten. But, this can be your last if you hopefully choose to not drink anymore.

Hang in there my friend in a few more days the worst of it is gone.

Our posts stay here forever, the problem is remembering to look at them when we are thinking about drinking.

That's one of the reasons I come here every day - even if I'm just reading - to remind myself how fortunate I am to be sober, and to see daily reminders of where I'll end up in short order if Im not vigilant.

Hevyn

I feel the same as Scott. Even 10+ years later.

I'm glad you're feeling better, tiffany. It's so good to come back to life.

well still feeling irritable but the worst is behind me so happy to feel a little better than lastweek/weekend
thanks guys!
i've been to some meetings this week and my sponsor gave me cds of speakers to listen to in the car because it is usually when i'm driving that the idea pops up to stop for a bottle.
remaining teachable and humble this weekend - thanks again.

It was a good idea to come here and post. I hope it made you feel a bit better. I know the feeling of hopelessness. It’s awful. I hope you can past this day and enjoy tomorrow!

Hey Tiffany,

How you feeling today? The irritability comes and goes for the first month or so, I was a bear early on.

Have a good weekend.

i can't believe how bad my disease wants me to die.
