Exclamation How do you do this?

I'm never scared of anything. I am, however, terrified at this moment. Caught my reflection in the mirror before bed. I look like a frickin' zombie. yellow eyes and a five day scruff. Awesome. My ankles and feet won't stop bouncing and I've had cold chills for days. How did I get here?

Any tips for the morning so I don't grab the Vodka and douse my Red Bull for my morning energy? That would be nice.

Hi manoman - I always recommend seeing a Dr - just to make sure you're not going to run into anything nasty in detox.

After that - I think support really helps, and you'll find a lot of that here

welcome aboard

Hi. What Dee posted is very important. Our hazy thinking usually tells us we're not "that bad" where in reality we are or are approaching it fast. Detoxing is very serious and deadly if not handled properly.

BE WELL

Sounds like you're looking for "tips" about how to continue drinking without the nasty physical consequences.

If you're eyes are yellow you may be sufferring from something serious and need to go see your doctor immediately. Detoxing can be deadly and its important that you be upfront and honest with your doctor.
