End of day one
 

I've always been a heavy drinker, but the last four months I'd been drinking every day. Finally realized that this isn't who I want to be. My body isn't so thrilled about the idea right now, and I feel like death warmed over. I look forward to the insight of SR's members. I know you people have seen some **** and managed to come through it.

Hi Memn0ch :)

Welcome aboard. If you feel really poorly, seeing a Dr is the way to go.
Detox can be rough for some of us.

You'll find a lot of support here. Check out our Class of February support thread too:

Welcome. We are here for the same reasons. Try to keep a full belly it help me the first few days and it helps me with the cravings.

Welcome

Really think it's a good idea to see a Dr and get something to smooth out the first five days or so.

Best wishes

Oh Yeah
I ate enough carbs to choke an ox for the first month. Food really helps, I can't drink on a full stomach. Also found L-Glutamine (from health food shops)
really seems to dampen down cravings.

Welcome xxx

:welcome

I hope the support you'll find here will help you stay sober for good. :)

it does get better. I too was a heavy daily drinker. I am now 18 days sober and I feel great. I actually don't even crave alcohol like I did. I just found things that interest me and it has worked. Hang in there...you can do it!!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will definitely try out the heavy carb thing once it is a little easier to hold down food.

Welcome to the Forum!! :wave:

Plenty of fresh air used to keep me sane, if feeling awful, i'd go for a long walk, pop in some ipod tunes and just ride it out!! :)
