this was my first day of sobriety (this time), and it's been the LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!! tons of anxiety and restlessness. and i can keep anything on my stomach; not even water. i've been throwing up all day. i did make contact with a member of AA, and she's taking me to a meeting tomorrow. and i'm going to try to get in to see my doctor, because i'm concerned about the anxiety and possible seizures. i've come to this forum to reach out; give and receive support. i really have to do it this time. there's too much at stake.

Hi luvfcp. Welcome to the group. I'm just about to head off to work here in the UK but wanted to send all my positive thoughts & vibes to Phoenix for you.

I'm glad you're seeing your Dr. The first days are long and hard but the only way out, is through.

Let us know how you get on. I'm on day 13 recovering from binge drinking and so much more settled now I'm into double figures.

Take care

Welcome! As Dee said, take care of yourself as you get through the first couple of days. It gets better, and then you never have to go through this again.

Stick around, stick with us. Glad to have you here.

Sleep comes. Take care of yourself today. Sending you good energy.

Ice chips help to rehydrate without being overwhelming to the stomach. I've been there done that way too often, used to think I was smart by knowing all the tricks. Lol. Now I realize I was only smart when I stopped binging altogether. It gets better! I am on day 4 from my last run-in and actually slept 8 hrs with just a couple minor interruptions. So nice :-). stay strong!!

Hi there, welcome. I know you can do it! Think of your kids you told me about in my thread. And not only them, but yourself. It's a huge change and a lot of work, but trust me, it's worth it. Keep posting!
