new to the site

Hi - I am new to this site and am looking for words of advice from members - I am now drinking as medication before my detox in a weeks time - the shakes and anxiety were one thing but the itching is quite another - my skin is either cut through scratching or at the least bruised - not a good look!!

Hi suggy - welcome!

have you considered seeing a Dr instead this week?
self medications/last hurrahs can get out of hand pretty quickly...

Hey Suggy, welcome

I am new to my recovery too

So you're using alcohol to help in your detox from another substance?
