Shooter127

Think this is a better name for my progress.
Just wanted to give an update.
I passed the 36 hr mark. Shakes are gone, I'm no longer a human vibrator, heart rate still a little high but combating that with a 1/2 dose of herbal sleep aid. Taking in lots of fluids, multivitamin and of course advil. Hoping on a good sleep one day soon.

My body is used to crazy amounts of stress. From my job, and from being an athlete. When I quit before, and went to the doctor and detox they said if I wasn't so fit I'd be dead. Partially the reason why I relapsed was knowing that I guess.

Feeling strong, yet VERY TIRED.

I did tell my girlfriend. That wasn't fun. But what I said was, I relapsed, I kept it a secret because you were so proud of me and didn't want to let you down. I need your help to get back on track. She was upset but understood. Her mom lost custody of her when she was a child because of drinking. She gets how tough it is.

So, on the solid road to recovery. Talk soon.

You did the honorable thing by confessing to your girlfriend. Good for you! Seems like you are taking the appropriate measures to care for yourself during these early days. Keep on doing what you're doing!
