Hi trialsdan, welcome to SR.

Take plenty of water or juice so you don't hydrate, if you're concerned pop and see your doctor..I believe they are most helpful .

There doesn't have to be another night like last night, hang in there, it does get better with time and perseverance .

I found reading others experiences on this forum and posting helped me enormously.

All the best.

You should really go and get checked out, alcohol withdrawal is a serious business. You're gonna be lacking fluids and vitamin B1...also, you really don't want the DT'S and may need a sedative. Stay strong.

Hi and welcome trailsdan

The suggestion to see a Dr is a pretty good one.

Withdrawal is nothing to mess with.

Stay strong,,,life is worth living. You're gonna be glad you made this choice once your totally sober and completely withdrawn! Hang in there.

Oh I know that feeling well. The lack of sleep and anxiety is a killer for me.

As others have said keep hydrated and try to eat what you can. I personally find bananas and sugary drinks help. After stopping alcohol your blood sugar goes into free fall.

Glad you're seeing the doc. They may well give you something to ease the symptoms and at least allow you to get some sleep.

trialsdan

Dee74

Did your Drs give you an appointment to see them in person?

trialsdan

Hang in there TD, make sure to find the medical attention you need for your joints, drink water, take vitamins and rest! You are one day closer to feeling better!
