Update

Its been five days for me. I feel better today but am still shaky and I cant sleep at night. I see my doc tommorrow, hopefully she can give me some advice. The thing that is annoying is my shaky hands. I am taking some medication that seems to help but once it wears off it comes back. Did any body else expirience this. I have had cravings and the urge to drink but have been trying liked hell and have suceeded so far in not picking up the drink. Once I get past seven days I will be happy. Only becuase in the past on the seventh day I give in. Anyways I will keep you guys updated

How is your diet? I'm sure that it is spotty right now, but some bland nutrition and lots of liquids will help to get your blood sugar leveled off. See what your Dr has to say about it.

Sark!! I'm so glad you're doing well

Sleep will come. Try and be nice and tired (physically) with your body well nourished.

Hi Sark - let us know how you make out at the doctor. After all the damage we do to ourselves, it takes awhile to feel good again. Be patient with yourself as you heal. Everything will get better with time.

Hi Sark,

I can relate to Ed's message. Basically, I tell myself "You can make it heaven or you can make it hell". Hell, for me would be picking up a drink. Heaven is focusing on all the blessings I have and nuturing myself. Welcome!

It may sound obvious but when I went through that I would say to myself "Of course I want a drink. I'm an alcoholic". Just acknowledging the feeling without giving it any power.
