Day 1 at last!

Hey everyone,

Been trying to sort a home detox sorted for about five weeks now and now the day has come.

Battled through the day till now with terrible anxiety but the meds have finally arrived!

Im on a seven day taper of valium to help with the alcohol withdrawals.

Looking forward to a sober weekend, first in many many months.

Hang tough Hopscotch.

You can do this, stay close to SR if you can.

You've got the power to make this change stick for good.

Hi hopscotch. Stay close to the forum this weekend. There's the weekend support thread if you need distraction.

Sounds like you already saw a doctor, so that's a great first step.

Well I made it through day 1! Only four hours sleep and do feel a little groggy but I think thats due to the meds.

No withdrawal symptoms apart from me over thinking that I might have a convulsion.

Have a good day everyone.
