Alpha said it, google kindling. Never heard of it before but it's scared the bejesus out of me. I am day 5, 3 was tough but the achievement over getting over this hurdle gives me more pleasure than that drink.

  1. 1.
    easily combustible small sticks or twigs used for starting a fire.



  2. 2.

During the latter part of my drinking, I noticed that the "hangovers" had morphed into something I hadn't been experiencing before. Hours of hangover misery turned into 3 plus days of inexplicable anxiety, heart pounding, shaking, nausea, gastro upset, etc. etc.

Because they had become.......withdrawals.

Never going back. Never.

Be well.

Me too, alphaomega.

Supreme grossness. Terrifying, as well.

Crimsonking, it only gets worse.

Drinking is not a reward for getting through withdrawals. It's suicide.

Stick with us, I know you can do it!

If you know day three is the trouble spot - prepare, prepare prepare CK....have a plan, have support, reach out, use it.

It's 24 hours - break it up into 96 bits if you have too - but you can get to day 4 - I know it
