Great news. Welcome to the rest of your life. Your life will start to slow down and simplify itself. Live in the moment! "Now Im going to brush my teeth." "Now Im going to put on clean clothes." "Now Im going to go to work." "Now Im going to work at work." Simplify!

It's about a 20 minute drive.

He's a PP and new. Not sure what I'll encounter. Praying he will help me get on with this.

Well I'm back from the doctors. He even hugged me before I left and wished me well. He said I'd be safe. Still a little worried. Is that the anxiety speaking up? lol.

He did prescribe Librium and also Lexapro. Right now I feel as though I could do without the medication at 24 hours alcohol free. Just a little shaky and anxious. I don't know how I'll continue to respond though. He told me to taper off but didn't give me a dosing schedule. As far as the antidepressant, I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Good luck to all the day oners! And good luck to everyone just because. hope to get through the night okay and looking forward to one day done.

Kris

I'm sure you'll be fine Kris - it's normal to feel a little anxious and out of sorts

Congrats on your new beginning

Yeah being fresh off a detox, I'm glad to be off the meds. They are WAY better than withdrawal though.

If there is anything I can help you with during withdrawal (as I've been doing so much of it lately), we could pm or get on chat or something.

I hope you're able to sleep.
