I'm new to this but here goes. I had my last drink as well as lines of cocaine Saturday around 4am. I feel like total crap. Blue, Tired, Lack of any feeling really. Drank 3 to 4 nights a week in large amounts. Not sure if I want to totally stop drinking or get through this.

What does "or get through this" mean?

Well you won't if you don't want to.

Not sure about the coke but with booze for or five days usually sees the worst of it in terms of withdrawal done, though there are usually lingering effects for a while after.

Well hate to say it, but the not sure I want to stop part is a sure sign that you aren't going to stop. What exactly is your motivation to continue down your path?

I only have experience with drink, but it does get pretty rough, eating decent food, keep well hydrated, resting, after the first wk it gets better, if you feel so bad maybe a trip to your dr? X

Bad choice of words on my part. I do want to get sober trust me

Feeling like crap isn't enough to make you stop? I wish you the best no matter what you decide. I am sure if you stick around and read you will find the support you need to stop the insanity. Take Care.

Well I AM actually sober. Just having a rough time with it at the moment. I'm going to have a serious temptation check this weekend. And no, I cannot avoid it.

The first week-10 days can really be hell detoxing from anything. If you have specific health concerns see your doctor of course. Eating a healthy diet and drinking lots of water can certainly help with the physical effects. But again, if you have any serious medical concerns give your doc a call.

Regarding wanting to get sober, that's a great decision. Once you get over the withdrawals, you'll want to have some kind of plan as to how you'll stay that way( sober ). Have you given any thought to what you might do?

Feeling like "total crap" after putting down the drink is fully and uniquely human. We pay a heavy price for all the years of attempting to feel anything but human.

It usually took me anything from 3 days to a week to start to feel good but I hope you'll get there sooner jm

maybe see a Dr if you're concerned?
