I cant believe how sick I got when I quit

Man I felt crook, really dizzy felt like I was car sick, blury vision, horrid anxiety racing heart, felt hopeless, dizzy, really out of it, scared the crap out of me, just wanted to stay in bed, not face the world.... felt like I was never going to come out of it or get better....thank god irt so much getting better at 65 days....im feeling more relaxed, much more actually, irs not perfect but at last i see glimmers of light and hope, ve picked up guitar again....im never going back to thst poisonous **** ever again, it truly is pizz in a jar and I hate it. I also was really sick when I stopped and ir scared me so bad I will never drink again.....

65 days! Great work. I feel the same. Never going back. Thing is we don't have to drink and as long as we remember that we have the choice to say no every time.

Keep going strong!

These thought will fade so be sure to work your plan. Even print out this post and have it handy when your AV pops up. I agree, those feelings are NASTY!!!

Yes similar story here. I only realised how sick I had become after I quit and I started to get better. It amazing how that alcoholic fog can cloud your emotions, rational thinking etc to the extent that it does. Likewise I am never going back there. If I do it may well kill me.

Ohh Lordy , isn't that the truth....My head was doing some funky stuff...Thought for sure my head was going to implode and my brain was going to jump out screaming for help! It was like 10+ years worth of hangover dumped right there in the first 3 weeks...I tried working though it , but I couldn't even see the keyboard straight enough to type...The weirdest part was the time lapses...I would think 5 minutes had gone by , but it would turn out to be 30 minutes...

It was just weird!

Another here who didn't realize how sick I was until I stopped. I hadn't NOT been hungover in probably five years. I didn't remember what 'normal' felt like.

It is pretty scary stuff, isn't it! You're right, you don't have to go through it again. You're well on your way to recovery.

Good job on 65 days! Your post gives me hope I'm only on two days sobriety, feels like a lifetime already. But very hopeful reading all the success stories! Congrats!
