I sooo feel for you. I am 20 days clean and sober today, and never want to go through those first days again. It took 8 days for me before I really felt human again. Yes, I had all the symtoms that go along with detox, All of them !!! But......it is over and I survived. I know myself well enough to realize that I could not "ween" myself off, it would have just led to another binge.

Thankfully, posting on this site and getting encouragement from everyone was the only thing that gave me a "light at the end of the tunnel." Everyone told me it would pass, and it did. I feel physically great, but am still dealing with some feelings of guilt, inadequacy, low self-esteem.....but these too will pass.

Hang in there, you can do it, and congradulations on a week.

Whoot! Congrats! It does get easier every day and you will feel human again very soon, just keep on hanging in there. My first week was horrible, and I have been through that first week more times than I care to remember. Should be enough to keep us from going back, but sadly it doesn't.

Keep up the great work and hang in there

Congratulations! The first week really seems like the worst in a lot of ways. Things will get better.

teetee - You never have to go back there ever again. Every day will be a little better & the sun will shine in your life once more. (People from Philly can't be kept down for long )
