I have been to some open AA meetings with my recovering daughter. And I go to Alanon. If you keep attending meetings, my guess is you'll meet a lot of new friends. I have never met more caring people in my life. AND very interesting. Good luck! K

Thank you so much for all of your replies...I have gone to 2 meetings today..and think that keeping myself busy with those throughout the day are going to help me get through more days. It sucks I feel scared..a bit exposed...and frightful of not following through. I feel like I need a babysitter...I also am worried about not detoxing professionally without meds...ect. does anyone have any natural remedies for detoxing without western medicine intervention?

Cheerio

Day 5 is going much better then the previous. I feel a bit more clarity and also do not seem so weird to myself.

Thanks for listening

good on you and 5 days - in my experience, the mental and spiritual will follow the physical recovery. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day.

Hi Ashenrain,

I just wondered how you are doing. Early sobriety is hard and often emotional, so I hope you know that you are not alone. We understand and we are here to help.
