new to recovery..... again
 

So long story short, I went to treatment in 2008 without a hitch, Went 18 months sober and sank back into the pit. I just kicked it again after 7 months of about a pint per day. It has been a little over three days and I have yet to have any more than a slight anxiety feeling. I am just really hoping that this will not be one of those delayed onset things and that I just got really lucky this time. I had no withdrawals in treatment either, but I always heard that it gets worse every time. I hope this finds you all well and thanks in advance for any comments you can share or any advice on what to expect...

Welcome! I'm still pretty new on day 31 here, I had some pain and pretty gnarly headaches for the first couple weeks along with a lot of drinking related dreams.

The only good thing about the alcohol dreams is that you get to be relieved when you wake up and realize you didn't really drink. I remember that from the first time around... Unfortunately that's all I remembered.

Welcome hodgie! You may or may not get withdrawals. May be good to check with a medical professional. Congrats on the 3 days. :)

Welcome Hodgie :)

Yeah none of us are doctors here - some people have problems, others not....it's just not possible for us to predict.

If you're worried, always seek some professional help :)

Welcome to SR!:)

Glad you are getting back on track...Welcome...:wavey:

Welcome hodgie, and thanks for joining us! With that much alcohol-free time in your past, there's no reason you can't get the wagon rolling again; you've already done it. Any plans on how you may do things differently this time around, to avoid sinking back into the pit?

Thanks again for being here. I'm glad you are.

day 4
 

Well day four now and still feeling fine. No shakes, no fog, sleeping 8 hours a night. Perhaps my body was just ready for this. Or maybe it helped that I took a multi-vitamin daily when I was drinking. Whatever it is, I am thankful that it is going well. Thanks SR!!

Good to have you with us hodgie..

Hi Hodgie, welcome to SR and good for you for getting back in recovery.

100 hours
 

100 hours so far.... hopefully I am out of the woods for the really bad stuff. Still feel normal for now.
