this is the last one I have in me

this detox, the withdrawals, the guilt and remorse, not sure if I'm going to lose my job or my girl friend or both. I can't do it again, this is it.I can't eat, I can't sleep I can feel every molecule working to get me through this and they are out of gas after this one.

Sounds like the nightmare I am trying not to EVER return to! You don't EVER have to feel this bad again....What's your plan?

I have a plan...so far so good. Hang in there!

Welcome back! SoberRecovery is like AA--it works if you work it. Read around and post often!

my plan is to make it to the dr appointment tomorrow. get valium or maybe if he takes my vitals and thinks I need to go to detox then I'll do that.

but my plan for now is to drink enough to not experience withdrawals. It just sucks I dont want to drink. I have to. I woke up earlier today with withdrawals and I drank a beer and felt it instantly. my body was starving for it. I know I probably shouldnt be talking about drinking on here because it may trigger people. but please take this as a deterrent.
there is no feeling that is a fair trade for this

I know exactly what you are going through. I never cared about the sweats, nausea, or headaches. It was the anxiety and insomnia that really made me suffer. The racing-mind that just won't let you relax even for a decent nap because you replay every event in your your head you feel guilt about.

It will pass. Ask anyone here and they will say the same thing. You just need to give yourself some time. 4-5 days of no booze and you should feel a huge improvement. You'll be tired and feeling like sh*t but emotionally much better. At that point, you then must decide on what actions you should take to stay sober. I go to a therapist twice a week, AA twice a week, and use this site.

The good news: it doesn't last. You'll feel better every day.

The bad news: You can screw it up just by drinking one day.

One of my favorite sayings is "this to shall pass"... it is hard to sit in it, really hard. But, buckle down get through it and know you don't ever have to feel this way again.. ever..

I hope you feel a bit better today isaid

reading your post gave me the shivers - taking me back to the last binge I went on last May. That was a full blown 5 days of pure hell. I wouldn't have wished that on my worst enemy.
hang in!! you know it gets better with each day we stop poisoning ourselves.
