Day 1 again
Hi Everyone,
I'm not really sure what to write. Its day one again I let myself seriously slip for weeks. Hurt so many people emotionally and myself. I've not been able to sleep so have been reading the forum and decided to post. I cant see the alchol detox until the 28th so I'm going to ride out the withdrawals. Cant believe I've got myself here again. This time I've got to have everything in place and a plan. And try to get to AA ASAP.
Thanks for letting me post/rant!

Day ones suck so bad. The bright side is a weeks long slip isn’t really that bad in my world. I had months and years long slips. You probably won’t need a detox on the 28th if you can get through the next several days without drinking.

Thanks for all your replies. There is an AA meeting tonight by me that I'm going to go through. I know what I need to change more activity in my life to stop the boredom, counselling and try to get my bipolar in check. Shaking like a leaf atm yuck but trying to tidy up to keep me occupied.

You have got this Rainbow!!!
We all had to start somewhere, you just have to really look at your habits and begin changing them. AA saved me and continues to be my lifeline, it will help you as will logging on here!!!
Start building your habits, my loneliest and most boring time was night time, that is when I would drink. I started meditating, praying, reading, cooking, working out, journaling, blogging, step work, lol everything and anything to change my "normal"
Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey its ok we all been there . and by the 28 you should at least be over the shakes and stuff. For me thats the worse part of it. Then once you check in to treatment you can focus on the brain feel me. . get that tool box ready. You can do it. I was just like you 108 days ago. So I feel you.

Thank you for all your kind replies. Well its now day 2 and I actually managed to get some sleep. I went sweating and shaky to AA and everyone was very supportive. Next meeting is Thursday. Hopefully the shakes etc will calm a bit today I cant believe how high my anxiety is. I can do this.

Rainbow the shaking will get better with time. I had wicked withdrawal for two days but it is now better. I'm on day 6. I suffer anxiety and panic attacks, used to use the booze to try and calm down, it worked for awhile fixing the problem till it itself became the problem. Started interfering with my meds and really ****** me up. But eventually I started on this road and found all these great people. Post often and read as much as you can.
tkr rainbow keep us posted we are rooting for you.

Hi all thank you for all your replies means a lot. It's now the afternoon of day 3 and after a absolutely awful night full of nightmares I'm actually feeling less shaky and less anxious even though I'm eating sweets like it's going out of fashion!! I'm kind of wishing the day away to tomorrow as I know I'll feel better. Have AA tonight. Thanks again all
