1 day sober

Good evening everyone, I've been using cocaine, majiuana, alcohol, and ecstasy on a regular basis for about 2 and a half years. I've been drinking alcohol for years but in the last 2.5 years I usually drink, or do a drug just about everyday if permitted. I haven't used cocaine in about 2weeks, but i used Molly (pure MDMA) the other day along with marijuana and alchohol. I've decided to try to quit everything cold turkey without any treatment or any help besides prayer. I am afraid and I can already feel some physical and mental withdrawal symptoms and this has been my first day. Please keep me in your prayers because I really want to kick my addiction for my son and to get my life back!

Please re-think your decision to do this without any help or treatment. It sounds like you should seek any and all available help, including seeing a doctor.
I will keep you in my prayers.

Thank you for your response. Do you really think its impossible to continue sobriety without medical treatment or rehabilitation clinic? I guess I really never honestly considered that an option because I know the relapse rate frightens me. I wouldn't even know where to start for treatment. I know I am an addict but I guess sometimes I have this false idea in my head that not everyone needs a rehab center. I do need the support I just don't know how to begin. I think if I'm not totally strung out no one will take me serious. I'm just confused. I don't know how I got here, but I'll do anything to get out and stay out.

Hi Survivorest

I encourage anyone going through alcohol withdrawal to seek some medical advice.

I've never had it, but can't imagine that something like MDMA would help the withdrawal process either.

I had a bad last detox, ended up having a series of mini stokes, and I have that legacy with me forever now.

I'm not trying to scare you - you may be fine - but I can't guarantee that - noone here can.

It's your call to do whatever you want, but I think doing nothing like you planned could be risky.

As far as maintaining sobriety goes, there's a lot of paths up the mountain. You may be able to stay sober without outside support - who knows?

but Me? I needed a place like this....

D

Start by making an appointment with your Doctor and asking for help.

You don't need to be totally strung out or literally on deaths door step to get help.
