I would get to the ER and tell the docs there. I am an addict who has OD'd many times and have not been judged for it-- and there is more stigma attached to drug overdose and addiction than there is to alcoholism, I think. Best to be honest with the docs-- I am not one to make doctors out to be anything more than human, but I do think there are things worth trusting them with.

How are you doing? Is your BF still with you?

My vote is for a visit to the ER too. You don't want to have a grand mal seizure and/or go into full-blown DTs. Withdrawal from alcohol can be deadly. Please be safe. Susan

Hi all,

I am OK. I am at work and made it only 30 min late. I did not have any alc last night. I am on day 2! I am safe while at work so my worries will begin again around 5 PM.

I feel edgy, jittery, hungry but so far so good. My heart jumped couple times last night but nothing too out of the ordinary. My palms sweat a little but I can still work. Thank you for all your support. Be back in couple of hours to give an update.

good morning Nile. WTG making it through. You can do this, one day at a time.

Yea! Good to hear you got through! One day at a time, and don't worry about the rest of it.....

One thing that helped me a bit was treating myself to carryout from a favorite restaurant each evening during that first week - it gave me something to look forward to, helped give me energy/nutrients and helped with the cravings (drinking messes with our blood sugar) and I was really hungry anyway.

And remember how good you'll feel in the mornings,....... that really motivated me too.
