I agree with the people on here about rehab or detox at least. You shouldn't do it alone when it comes to quitting drugs. There's also AA or NA hot lines you can call in your area. There probably in the phone book.

I feel like if i had a hug it would help so much .... I dunno im just a mush I guess
I dont know much about drinking either... at my lowest points i would drug and drink but not as much as i would drug.... after a while so much toxins build up inside you ... you feel so disgusting so toxic...im sure with drinking it feels the same no?

Jen....
Yeah, ER is best if iavailabale..I OD'D on benzo's and alcohol once...
The benzo is hard for your body to let go of...and withdrawals can be
dangerous..
I'll check back in awhile..
Love,
IO

Yea, Drinking isn't much different. They say in AA a drug, is a drug, is a drug.
My new drink now is flavored water.
My lowest point in drinking was this year. I drank alone. Didn't want to go any where. Do anything. I drank because i was depressed and was depressed because I drank. Sound familiar? I hope I'm helping a little. Like i said I'm only on Day 6. Just one day at a time.

jen..
What I meant to say earlier is ER is best if you cannot get inpatient treament
right away....I did., got in the next day after the overdose.
I had to be detoxed from benzo's four four months due to a 20 years of
(prescribed) use.
Valium for 10..then Xanax for 10...and when I drank a bottle of whiskey had a blackout and
downed half a bottle of 10 mg Xanax.
After treatment, never touched another one!
It can be done..but don't try detoxing at home.....
Just speaking from personal experience.

That sounds like a good idea.
I don't want to add fuel to the fire-
this is just what happened with me -
I went to the doc the day after, got told I was ok -
went home hand had like three seizures.
I continued to have them until I finally had one in front of someone. Since I didn't fall out on the floor all 'hollywood' ... I didn't know anything was happening. I was so sick from all the OTHER symptoms of withdrawal, since I didn't fall out of the chair or wake up on the floor ... I didn't know anything was going on.
It's just what happened to me .. and *I* thought .. I was doing okay.

bye ****{barb}}}}
sorry - the hotel is going NUTS ... I think I've a resentment over Evel Knevel...

I think I had 'em only for the first couple or three days ...
it was the third day when someone saw it.
I think.
I didn't get to detox in a hospital.
I didn't say that to panic you or anything ...
just to show that it's important to tell a doc everything,
and I was glad to see you're not doing this alone. I was alone.
I get PM's on occasion about my being so adamant about the doctor thing ...
that's why.

in my personal life nobody cares enough to say these things to me
my family doesnt even notice how bad I am
nor do they care (thats very true)
when your a child of abuse you crave acceptance and love
I thought I found it in drugs but im learning its not true
i was just covering up the pain with a new pain

My thing was ... it wasn't that I wasn't being honest with the doc ...
I didn't know.
I woke up on the floor in the bathroom at work (I was a bartender) a couple of times the last two weeks I drank - I was probably having them then.
But - who could know?
By that time, I'd started mixing vodka, jaeger, oxy, and morphine.
Daily.
Just to get through the shift.
Only now am I seeing how very bad off I was.
I didn't know.

its amazing how much the human body can take ... to think what we all put ourselves through ... only to crawl out of it ... i think we are all very brave
