Hello

Hello everyone. I am new to this site. I am going through withdrawals and could use someone to talk to.

Welcome to the family.

What are you withdrawing from? Can you get help from your doctor?

I'm glad you joined us.

Hang on. How bad is it? Do you need a doctor?

It's difficult for a while. Weeks. The first few days are the worst physically, though.

How long has it been since you drank?

It's been 12 hours. I have chills, extreme anxiety, I am throwing up, shaking. I don't think I need a doctor though.

You sound like you need a doctor.

Many have been there my friend. There is no shame. You are amongst those who care.

Good luck to you and let us know how you're doing!

Welcome direlyn

Sorry you feel so bad. If things get worse or you feel concerned I hope you'll consider a Dr though?

If you do, it's a few phone buttons away.

I'm here, about to maybe go through the DT's although the doc recommend cessation. PM me. I'd be happy to chat. Hell, you'd be helping me. I'm feeling alone in this in a weird way. Selfish yes, but I'm hoping that I can talk to people now that I have joined that can be mutually beneficial to one another.

Seriously though. I am here. I'm a therapist believe it or not.

Please stay hydrated and be kind to yourself. Don't be afraid of seeing a doctor if you need to - there is no shame and it will be better to be healthy than alone and afraid. Let us know how you are doing.

Hey DireLyn... You're in good company! Keep taking on hear, get out whatever's going through your head. My own was just a few days ago... Drink lots of water... Rest your body at least, even if your mind won't settle...

But listen to these people... Get a Dr if it gets bad.

Keep well
