Sorry to hear what you are going through Rach. I last round of drinking was drinking was pretty pathetic. I finally had to get medical help and it made it so much easier to detox. Found out later I could have died from my blood pressure.

Your are in my prayers, I will be thinking about you.

Please let us know how you are doing.

hang in there girl. Get whatever help is necessary. Get face to face with someone who can help you, don't have to do it alone.

prayers coming your way....

Please do check out medical assistance.
De toxing alone can be very dangerous.

Yes, do get medical help to detox safely. AFter you're done with detox the awful feelings should start going away. YOu can do this and you don't have to do it alone. Go back to AA and check in here often. We're in this with you. Do'nt give up on yourself.:ghug3

I didnt feel this strong when I quit last time....Im not putting myself in any position to relapse....My tummy is doing better....just wanted to update...dont have a computer at home to keep in touch, so can only get online at work when he's not watching over my shoulder considering we still are working together.....boy is my life crazy...oh well...Im sober today...one day at a time....

Rach,
I am so glad to hear you are doing well. Six days of sobriety is fantastic. Just keep going and you will be OK.

Please do keep in touch, everyone will want to hear how you are doing and wants to help you in any way we can.

Nobody can do this alone and you do not have to!

hey

best wishes my friend- i had to go to the er a month ago- bp was 200/160. I thought I could do it by myself. they (drs) said it was stroke or heart attack material-spent 6 hrs in a bed there, and i had quit cold turkey for two days prior. dont take this lightly. however.......the solution is to quit - you know that as well as i do. do the right thing with dr help- its out there and no need to get in stroke zone if meds are available, and everything will turn out ok. by the way i am struggling also but know what the deal is..so I am talking to myself also. keep fighting. I am with you my friend.
