Tapering didn't work so going to be day 1

It's really hard back doing a day 1 again especially with no smoking. I have to give this quit all I've got and if it doesn't work then rehab. My ex is leaving me alone. Off to AA tonight. No room for any more excuses. I don't want alcohol to kill me same as I didn't let the smokes.

I think it's easier to quit altogether than to taper.

I hope your meeting goes well.

In the deepest part of your being decide that drinking it's not a decision you can make again. You can go to AA, go for a run, call some one and tell them you love them, eat something nice, start a journal.......................
Thats what I had to do. Its just no longer an option no matter what. Drinking is no longer. You will be so much happier in the long run. Its so worth it.

Tapering didn't work for me, either. Stick with SR and you can do it. It's not real easy, but it's possible to get yourself free from alcohol. It's well worth the effort.

Was shaking so much I couldn't drive to AA. At least I am not smoking tobacco. I need to get valium off the doctor. I don't want to end up back in hospital due to withdrawals. I will go tomorrow. I'm so scared right now. At least I am not going to suffocate to death.

If you need medical attention before tomorrow you can ring 000 and get an ambulance to the ER sweetichick?

I'm feeling ok. I didn't sleep real well. It's 6.30 am here. I'm quite bored. In AA I now have a sponsor.
