I never went through this not drinking. It makes it a lot easier for a day or two. You cant buy alcohol here I live on Sunday, but I can and I dont want to drink but I did text the guy at thte store that sells it to me to at least see if I can get it.
Thats really bad right?

You know that drinkings not going to help you...if the opiate detox is bad, go see your Dr as soon as possible and explain whats going on.
It may be you're biting off more than you can chew right now going cold turkey and staying sober....or you may find it's better tomorrow.
Does your Dr know about your drinking too?
Only you and yr Dr can decide what best for you.
See someone at the ER tonight if you're worried - but don't drink...it's not a solution.

Please get medical help if you feel that bad, but don't drink.

then don't. Dump it.
It's crunch time Dream - you can either do what you have been doing for years, or try this new way.
It's not easy sometimes, but it's worth it
You're not alone - you have SR and you have AA numbers too I bet. Use them, Dream.
And don't let the money get in the way of your health - if you feel you need help pls go to the ER

Hi Dream, did you manage, did you fight it off? You know inside you can do it, you have the will and the determination. Don't give up all this hard work now. Maybe try deep meditation, anything to keep your mind off it. Be strong, (((HUGS)))

Dream, what happened to the temp sponsor, I think you were the one that wanted to "acquire" one like crazy the other day? Did you take other numbers from the meetings?
I suppose it wouldn't do much to delete your contacts from the phone if you can always get up and go anyway. But that's one of the things you should do.
For some reason I reached a point that it didn't feel like being utterly screwed and helpless without anything left to drink when I quit. There's this AA commercial that runs once in a while, and the second or third scene has a lady with a couple of kids in the background and the voice-over says "I thought I was only hurting myself..." When I heard it playing in the background one morning, I actually said out loud, "Yeah, well, you ARE the only person you're hurting." (The family scene doesn't apply to me - single, male, no kids - but I was identifying with the character in the fiction.) But after I quit and saw it again, I thought to myself, "Wasn't it enough?"
I am glad I reached that point. It wasn't like an explosion, "it" just sort of petered out, no drama, and I just didn't want to use anymore. I was very lucky. Other people lose their kids and all their stuff and their physical freedom and their health; or they die.
Don't go back for "the usual" or any of the alternatives that are on this wheel you spin around (other substances) or that you used to spin around.
I don't know what your medical condition is like, but I wonder if I am seeing "panic" in you sometimes. I hope you will line up all the _right people_ around you so that the solution gets to work.

Hey Dream
Got to get through the pain to get to the other side- it's definitely possible- I did it last year. You know. I am going through anxiety attacks or something myself now- as I just quit. Focus on whatever it is that makes you feel at least a little better. For me it's that I know how good I will feel later....which is tough because it's later...but you have to do this.
Hang in there- Much love to you, stay strong.

Wow dream what kind of dosage were you on before you jumped? I was taking 60 mg of methadone a day, but tapered all the way down to 1.25, but it DID take about 7 months. It's been 1 month since I've stopped. And for the most part, I'm doing ok! Hang in there!!
