41 hours in.....thanks everybody

Thanks for all the replies. Its been 41 since last drink. Feeling a little better...though sleeping badly and constant stomach upset...no eating at all. Am at work.....makes it a lot harder but I've already used up my sick time when I was bingeing and too messed up to go to work....madness. Please continue to reply...it really helps.

Hi Rob. I was wondering where you were. Are you going to meetings?

Congrats, Robzoloft....

The sleeplessness will dissipate and you'll find rest soon. This is all part of it that seems neverending, but IT WILL end! 14 days ago I got sober and went through that physical torture and not being able to sleep as well. After several days, I could. I couln't eat either, but I did sip on veggie broth and other broth the 1st couple days and then saltines and actual soup as time wore on. I encourage you to get some broth in you and drink A LOT of h2o!!! Hydrating yourself as much as possible. Gatorade is good and since you are working and detoxing, the sugars in it will give you an added boost -- at least they did for me.

Hang in there! Physically what you're going through right now is the worst it's gonna be! Keep posting, reading and reaching! We are here for you.

Hugs xxooxxoo,
Nicki

Keep posting!

Good to see you again, Rob. I hope you're back connecting with others in the room.

I'm glad you made it back.

One moment at a time Rob, just one short moment at a time. Keep putting those minutes, hours, and days together.

Rob - good on you, keep going.
I am Day 4 now, so your not alone in the early stages. A lot of other people are going through what you are, just keep going.
