I want it bad enough now...

I'm feeling rough this morning.

I'm sitting at work, luckily by myself as everyone is out, and I think I'm suffering from withdrawal's....which is a first for me first thing in the morning.

I'm scared....I want to go off sick and just go home to bed.

I cannot believe I feel so crappy and that I am in work with the shakes.....

When I get home, I am going to throw out all the wine in my fridge.......I am not doing this anymore.....

Hi Stayinfree,

I'm in very early recovery (Day 5), I spent the majority of this week feeling like crap from my last binge. I empathise. I hope you throw out the booze in your fridge, you don't have to feel like this again.

i remember the first in the mor'n DT's too,

then it was all throughout the days.

it was over 8 years later that i was able to toss out the booze!

as alcoholism is progressive

good wishes SF

I think the worst thing you can do with morning withdrawals (or extended withdrawals) is... get used to them.

Please do act, stayinfree.

Yes, pour it all out. You NEVER have to feel this badly again if you don't drink again. Alcohol is Trouble, and Poison to boot. You can live better than this.

I used to regularly pour wine down the sink. It was not a solution that ever worked for me.

The mental obsession to drink was so great, despite my resolve that I would never drink again, I would be buying alcohol to replace that which had been poured away - usually it was later that day.

The only way I could quit drinking was have the obsession to drink removed.

It was removed by working the 12 Steps of AA. Now I no longer think about alcohol.

As you can see, you have tons and tons of support here on SR. If you find that's not enough then take Intention's advice and seek out some form of face to face support. There are a variety of programs, but I'm just saying if you need more.

Good for you for making the right decision and getting rid of the wine. That will help to have an alcohol free living space. Good luck and keep us posted.

Well I have poured it down the sink.
And good riddance...tonight at the time when I would usually open the bottle, I will take my dogs out for an extra walk...

Sounds like the first step has been taken. Congrats. Keep posting here, and seek out a meeting if AA appeals to you. Don't rely on you memories of a bad hangover to be your only motivation, no matter how motivating that pain may be at the present moment. Quitting is going to suck at first, too. It just won't suck every day for the rest of your life.
