What a TRIP!
Wow what a trip, I had no idea, 15yrs/44/70uk-units week, gave up cold turkey (being very naive, I thought it would be all over with after a couple of weeks) what a relentless fatigue, fear Fueled fog that’s been for the last 100 days. Today has been by first day of feeling relativity normal.
I’ve been lurking a while, thanks to those of you who have posted your horror stories, they have been quite comforting, If I may I would like to ask one question; how the hell, can you folks go thru this or even crave time and time again? you must be super-human or I’m very week, I mean, if I knew I was going to be cloaked in Doom for the next 3 months I would have never given up!.
Cheers

Recovery is a program of action. I had to do a lot of things to get to where I am today. I got a sponsor. I took directions from her. I started going to big book step study, I started working the steps, I started praying, I started exercising, I started eating right, I started drinking water. When I am doing the right things I rarely have cravings. What is your action plan for recovery? AA? Smart Recovery? These boards?

Hello Why would I need a plan? Im never going thru that again, actually I don't think I physiologically could 
I mean its that simple right? Maybe I had bad withdrawls? or do we forgot over time? I read somewhere you would only give up severe morphine addiction once as it reprograms your amygdala from the fear alone.

Welcome. Going through that is one very good reason never to go back. But in something like an addiction the mind has a very convenient way of forgetting the pain to get what it wants. At least have a plan of never drinking again. One way I suggest is the secular Rational Recovery of how to deal with that addictive voice. There is what is called a "crash course" on the RR site. Takes 10 minutes to read.

I don;t think any of us are superhuman - we just really wanted to be sober
We found support to help us and made the changes in our lives that we had to to reflect our desire to be sober.
It may be uncomfortable now but it really does get better
