Wastinglife

I have posted a few desperate threads the last few days. I fell asleep at about 5am this morning and slept all day. It was dark when I fell asleep and dark when I woke up. 13 hour sleep. Haven't slept that long in years. The stores are shut so can't buy booze. No booze in the house now.

I don't think I will have withdrawals too bad since I attempted to quit twice in the last few weeks. Each attempt lasting about 3 days. The fact that I slept so long toda y tells me that I may not experience withdrawal. I may have already tapered myself down without knowing.
This weekend was just beer.

OK. Here I go SR. Think I can do this now. The withdrawals were too harsh last time but this may be my window to detox without the horrible things. Usually, 14 hours after my last drink, I would be sweating, shaky etc. Feel nothing like that this time around.

Hope things are OK this time...do you have someone close that can help if WDs get too bad?

Go for it wastinglife. I came off last bender because I managed to wake up soberish enough to go for it. All the other times, waking up too drunk to care. a toehold, then a foothold (where I am now) then a full leg up..and off!
Just do it...in the words of nike

I hope that you continue to feel good and make this your last Day 1.

I am 41 now. I have to stop if I want any semblance of a life. I fear I may have left it too late. Lost the last decade to booze.

OMG your AV is not going to use that old chestnut is it? I'm 50, I've wasted 18 years. When you are my age, you could have been 9 years non drinker. Think what you could do in those 9 years!

I am a 48 year old male. I would love to go back to 41 with all that I know now.
I sincerely hope that you can make this your last bender with alcohol. My last drunk was not my worst physically, not even close, but the despair and sense of doom that accompanied it definitely was.
I am at 55 days sober and a desperate to make this work this time. Wish you the best.

Go for it Wastinglife! I quit very early evening. By the time morning came around I already had a significant amount of withdrawal hours. You can do this!

Stay hydrated, lots of showers, and be safe.

Wishing you the best

You can do this WL! Sleep is a blessing...sleep as much as you need. You don't want to miss this opportunity. Better days ahead - 1 at a time. Do not drink today!
