Going through withdrawals I stopped drinking Sunday. The last couple of days have been the worst withdrawal I've been through. Any tips on how to ease the symptoms? |
Welcome! It's always a good idea to talk to your dr because withdrawals can be tricky and dangerous. Other than that, just rest and relax if you can. |

For me drinking a lot of water and getting rest and healthy food was helpful. Also be gentle with yourself. There is no exact way to do this early stuff...we are all different. If your gut tells you that things aren't good with you, I strongly suggest getting medical attention. Popping on here posting as well as reading all you can will help as it is a reminder that you aren't alone AND that sobriety really is possible :) |
Possibly not a great one health wise but after 2 days sober/ill/not eating I then got a dominoes pizza. As soon as I started eating my body remembered how starved it was. |

Sorry to hear that Mario. Try and at least sip water every few mins to keep hydrated? Or sugary drinks like blackurant? |

I'm on my second day so am sure others can offer better advice? But maybe just focus on fluids/ vitamins if you have tonite then plain toast or crackers in the morning? |
Or orange juice? Maybe just stick to a tonne of water, drink quite a bit thwn later just a bit at a time. Only speaking from my own experience |

Sleep will come but it might take a few days for it to settle. Do talk to your dr if you are worried. And, please know that we can't give any kind of Medical advice. |
Soz mate not for sleep.. in my exp (only) I just had to wait it out..but water as much as poss helps over time. |
Also as well as multivits I am back on high strength fish oils from holland and barrets.. help the brain. Good luck |
