Today is day one. I feel horrible so I put a case of water next to bed and I am camping out undercovers watch movie. also trying to eat as much as I can hold down! since eating is something I don't do enough of because of my medical condition It's hard to eat and drinking fills the gap. I feel very jittery though.This is going to be tough.

First days can be rough. My first detox last year I shook so bad I couldn't hold a cup of water. Keep your phone handy and if it gets too crazy call 911.

We're here, keep posting.

ETA: I'm glad to see you doing this.

Glad you are giving sobriety another chance Change4Life. Any ideas what you might do in regards to strengthening your recovery plan once the initial withdrawals are over? Hopefully someone else knows too in case you need assistance....be safe!

Anna

I'm glad you're back. Please seek medical help if you have any concerns.

I agree with Scott on both being safe for detox and about the after phase.

Sometimes we have to add a bit more support to make it stick.

I don't really have a plan, except to not drink. I need rest and food, plenty of water. That is today's plan. I just want to make it through today and take tomorrow as it comes I've found in the past when I do too much planning I set myself up for sabatoge. Im thinking I will start to feel better and my head will be clearer in a few days. All I know is take it slow and don't drink? Today actually isn't that bad it is usually day 4 or5 that I lose it, but I am trying not to worry about that for now

The first day sucks so much. You can do this. Once you get the first day under your belt, you have a a reason to carry on.

Raider

Ok that sucks. Glad you are here. Good luck my Friend.

How you makin' it, C4L?

Trachemys. I am holding up fairly well. I have been so seriously I'll from drinking that even though I feel weird, grumpy, and a little paranoid it is still better than how I have been feeling. it got to the point that I would vomit in the am a few times then start to drink usually throw up a few more times and I would feel sick all day. I was feeding my head and completely ignoring my body. So far I am doing ok, thanks for asking. I had a few minutes when I thought I would crack cause my neighbor is having a small party, but I really want to stop this time

I'm glad you're back C4L

Water sounds like a great thing to drink on a Friday night. Glad your not going to the party. That shows how strong you are. Hang in there, the days will get better. Best wishes!
