Almost done detoxing and ready to look to the future of a sober me. I won't go into the symptoms as everyone on here likely knows all them.

It sucks. It's part of it. I'm under a doctor's care and I recommend others that will be as well. It can kill you.

I never went the doctor route for detox, but the last 2 or 3 times were frightening enough that I maybe should have. This last time, my blood pressure was 190/118 the first day and my heart rate was high, too, and erratic. Anxiety wasn't helping things either. I was a physical and emotional wreck. Glad to hear you're getting help and on the down swing from it.

Hey Justin, good to hear from you.

I'm glad the detox is moving along.

Raider

Good luck. I know it's hard.

ChickChick

I hope it is over soon and you never have to detox again.

Aarryckha

Good to hear from you Justin.

I hope you're through it soon. Mine was horrible.

Just think, you never have to go through this again!

justinJustQuit

Amen to that.

You never have to feel like this again.

I just got back home. went to dinner with my wife. Came home, threw it up.

I'm not shaky though... This is the last day I have to feel like this. I threw up blood just now. Its an ulcer according to doctors, but blood is much scarier than stomach contents.
My doctor knows all of this.

I'm a 26 year old software engineer. This shouldn't happen to me. I shouldn't have had abusive parents who were alcoholics. I shouldn't have gotten this far down. My entire life I've dedicated to foster care children. I help people. As a volunteer.

Don't start confusing yourself with your addiction and beating yourself up, Justim

You've got every reason in the world not to drink again - all you have to do is remember that.

Every single time 'the Thought' comes into your mind, dismiss it utterly.

If you can't, don't panic - get help.

You can do this
