Things will only get better from here on in, it's natural to feel low after quitting sometimes but you honestly will get there, try to get as much rest as possible in my experience you cannot sleep to much early on, it's great for your body to heal.
Just keep posting, that helps so much as you speak to others going through the very same things.

Stay strong alphabet. I promise you it gets easier. I didn't feel human for a long time. Now, for the first time ever in a long time, I do.
Think of a life worry and regret free. Feeling proud of yourself will make you feel the most human ever!!
One day at a time.

Hey, alphabet. Every journey starts with a first step. The first few days are physically, emotionally, physically and spiritually very taxing. The physical part is very, very evident. I strongly recommend that you see a physician, detoxing can be dangerous and even deadly. A doctor can help with the physical withdrawals.

I did it before, if you are sober, pop in at the ER. They will check you out. In my case I had nothin manor except anxiety and they prescribed me with something to relax.
Thanks everyone.
I'm certainly uncomfortable, but I'll live. I tapered down towards the end, so I'm not concerned about health risks, really. Just need to get through 48 hours of this garbage and push the restart button on my life.

Alpha, I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling with this. Please get whatever help and support you need to stop drinking and stay stopped before something terrible happens. You are a strong person and i know you can do it. You deserve to be happy. Wishing you the best.
I'm glad you were able to taper! Keep the medical help in the back of your mind if the physical symptoms become too awful. The good news is that it gets better! We've all felt the pain of physical withdrawals. I'm a total wuss but I was able to persevere through it and get over that. If you feel the beginning of a desire to drink, please come here and post first. We are a bunch that loves to offer support, especially though these trying times. We're here to help.

Grab some hydrating, preferable something with electrolytes like some gatorade and post away!!!
Contr + Alt + Del will reboot your life! Personally I re-installed my operating system. Had to much viruses, Malware and spyware in my head. I got the new sobriety Firewall installed and everything is working as it should.

Tender it like a bad flue and you'l do fine.
I usually go to the grocery store and pick up things that I like, better chance of getting an appetite this way.
I'm convinced that by the time we hit tuesday-wednesday you'l be posting on how better you feel. Keep courage! You can do this!

Keep on this site - the support you'll find here is amazing and will def help you through the next few days.
I found making myself go outside for even 15 minutes at a time to get some fresh air helped - along with huge amounts of water and dr pepper (never liked it before but all of a sudden I'm a fan - go figure)
Crackers helped with the icky feeling...
Please know that in a few days you're going to feel so much better
Rooting for you!!
