The Withdrawals at night are the worst for me ?
The first night I had asked my Fiancee to hide the bottle so I wouldn't be tempted to drink...that sounded good at first and then a few hours later I started freaking out and spent the ENTIRE night looking through the house to try and find it. I would go from laying down to try and sleep then my mind would race and I would feel shaky and really anxious and get back up and look for it. I didnt sleep at all.Second night no Alcohol all day and I felt okay physically but the night was horrible I had cold sweats and I felt like my heart was beating out of my chest my head felt like it was a million pounds and I was in full blown panic I could not sleep. I layed with my head on the pillow just listening to my heart pound. Now last night I was determined to get sleep. I had gone 2 full days without it. But I couldn't shut my mind off and the cold sweats were terrible. I think I might of dozed off for a few minutes and I had some horrible nightmare. Did this happen to anyone. I'm actually now getting anxious about the thought of trying to sleep tonight b/c physically I think I will feel like crap.

I don't have a regular doctor I go to...What kind of doctor do you go to about this just a regular one? It's been 2 nights....how do you know if you are at risk for seizures....would that not have happened by now?
I had horrible nightmares too. I think most people do for the first two or three nights. The nights are worse for the simple reason there are fewer distractions. Also, if I might offer a word of advice, you would do well to get the bottle thrown out altogether rather than ask someone to hide it.
As ever r.e. withdrawals - if in doubt see a doctor.

No I haven't tried that yet but I am sure it would help! the thing is I have two young kids and my house is really hectic at night. I am working on trying to establish better routines with them. They at least keep me very busy so I can keep my mind occupied however finding peace, serenity, and relaxation is tough!
