Day 1

Today marks the beginning of my battle. Just looking to this board for support. I think sleeping will be the thing I need most. I also think sleep will be the hardest thing to do.
guess I'll find out.

Hey Vendetta, glad you came back and decided on this path. My first day I treated it like I had the flu. Fluids, eating what I could, and resting all I needed too.

Should I go to the doc sense I'm going at it cold turkey. I have went over 24 hours before without any major issues. Other than just wanting to drink.

Always best going Dr or ER if your going cold turkey it can be very dangerous

Im by no means a medical doctor and this isn't intended to be a subsitute for a doctors opinion, however valerian root i purchased from a supplement store helped me to relax a little at night, and if you have someone you trust you can stay with for the next 3 to 5 days i would do that as well.
