Well I'm back at day 1. Ended up having to call out of work cause I was sick all day. Will start tomorrow. Have 3 beers in the house which will help with the shakes and withdrawels tonight. On top of that my family stopped and saw I was home hung over and we got into a huge argument and now I'm not sure we will talk again. Decided I will go to aa tomorrow since I have never tried it and everything I have done has failed. Just not looking forward to the withdrawal process. Have gone through it more than I can think of so I know what to expect but it doesn't get easier. Know going to the er is the safest bet but I'm hoping this final time will scare me straight. Plus I want to remember how miserable this is and why I'm stopping

Hang on, and check in here as needed!

Take it one day at a time brother! Seriously, don't drink today and don't worry about tomorrow. Good on you for going to AA, update us and let us know how it went.

Good luck but if you have any concerns for your health make sure to get medical supervision.

Yup

I know this all too well. I did it without meds but I don't recommend it. If you haven't, read my thread. Things DO get better.

Thanks! I did suffer a seizure when I quit cold turkey so if its something I feel I can't due, I'm going to the docs. Hopefully wont need the beers but I did have one today and its a little comforting knowing they are there in case. Hopefully they'll be 3 full ones in the trash tomorrow. Just sucks having to do this again.

Can you just go pour them out?

Rock2534

I could pour them out but last time I stopped clean I did a five day inpatient stay with the seizure. Nothing after 12 tonight but I still got 5 hours left and have been getting shaky and a rapid heartbeat over the past two hours. Maybe I'll pour one out an hour starting at 9. If I did it now I will be at the liquor store by 10 with a pint of rum.

Well day 1 is here and it's been 13 hours. Not feeling horrible withdrawals yet but know I'm not even close to free from. Want to get through today at work and move on to tomorrow.

Just remember you never have to go thru this again if you stop drinking now.

Rock2534

This time I feel like I want to stop. Can't be doing this. It's been effecting too many things I have had it trying to quit all the time.

Glad you are doing ok so far. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

Withdrawal is only temporary. Just gotta go through it.

Make this the last time! Good luck to you.
