Welcome!!! You are in the right place if you want help with quitting. It's important to take one day at a time. I'm sorry you are feeling like this today. It will get better.

Head012 - Glad you are here. Holly is right, it will get better as you go along - don't get discouraged. When you've been drinking for a long time, it might be good to get a doctor's advice when stopping.

There are many people here who know just how you're feeling. You can have a whole new life - we're here to help.

Welcome Head012...Glad you found the place...Yeah if you can talk with a doctor they can make detoxing a lot easier for you...Save you from going through the misery of withdrawals on your own...Which can also be dangerous...But there are ways to stop...If you're ready and you're willing to put in a little work for it...

Very glad you've made this decision, Head - you don't have to live that way anymore.

I could always afford to get drunk but I couldn't afford to get sober.

I would try AA, maybe you can do this on your own but I couldn't.

All the best.

Welcome to SR Head012

Sorry you feel so ill.

Many areas of the US now have free or low cost clinics too for people to access a Dr - you might like to check this out too:

Free/Low-Cost/Sliding-Scale Clinics

You'll find a lot of support here - this place really helped me turn my life around.
Good to have you with us

Congrats on making a great decision, really hope you went to see a doctor or a detox center, seems like you are really sick if you cant get out of bed. Keep us updated on your status! Goodluck!
