Welcome to SR!

Yep, detoxing sucks and it gets harder and harder as you grow older.

Aren't you glad that this is the last time you have to go through it?

The 'Kindling Effect' is real, and made a believer out of me. Scared me sober for good.

Glad you are here cflan!

Day 3 sober and feels pretty darn bad still ... zero sleep with crazy night terrors. Drinking electrolytes with minimal food. Weak and full of intense fear. Almost fainted today but luckily did not ... basically resting and zoneing out on NatGeo channel. Hope it gets better!!

Cannot drink alcohol since that is now a poison obviously

thanks again for listening

Just read up on the kindling effect and it is scary stuff. Should be required reading for all alcoholics. Goggle it and prepare to shudder about what we have been doing to ourselves.

I'm on day two too. I feel like my intestines are just going to fall out of my butt at some point within the next day or two. All I know is that it gets much better fast, take the pain and remember it I guess.

Hi cflan. I remember my last (and final) detox. It was horrible, & my blood pressure was all over the place (didn't have a doctor at the time). I hope you're through the worst of it. Thankfully, we never have to go back to that dark and scary place. I'm glad you're here with us.

Hi Cflan,
I'm on day 2, feel pretty bad, just looked up the kindling effect, and now feeling much worse: ) (Ah hah!)
I've been getting by on cereal, hard candy and ibruprofin. Looking forward to waking up calm and rested one day soon. That can only happen if I don't drink today!

as much as I love alcohol, I am so afraid to pick up again. It has gotten to the point where I am sick in 3 days or so. just so frightening what alcoholism can do ... best five years of my life were the sober ones

My best years, hands down, were my sober ones. Why can't we have many more? We have some ups and downs to through, but what's waiting around the corner for us? At the very least a better life than 3 days ago!
