Day 4...and ugh it's terrible
Hello!
Totally new to the forum so not sure how to introduce myself.
Mid 20's female, living in Canada...
After two years of drinking each day (for a regular person heavily)...a traumatic experience happen about 5 months ago and I started to go downhill...and last week I've binge drink for 5 days in a row (not sure if we can mention amount here...but it's a lot). On Monday morning may 2nd realize wtf am I doing with my life...and decided to "stop" . 6 hours later I started puking and call the ER...went into severe withdrawal and etc.
Now 96 hours later...it's hell. DT is terrible, but still better than yesterday. I went to my first F2F AA meeting last night and soon heading out for another one tonight.
So hi I guess!

Hi and welcome,
If someone would have told you at 21 what you know now, would you have started drinking.....
Nope....
Don't blame yourself. Blame the government. They know all about t h is.
Now you are like us....addicted for life....
6 days is a nice start.
Stay clean. Adjust your life.

My first few days of sobriety were absolutely horrific. I had been drinking insane amounts for a long time and had terrible DT's also. But as others have pointed out it will start to get much better soon. Hang in there! Make an effort to remember how bad it can get & use it to help keep you from returning back to the dark side. It really helps keep me sober as I never ever want to go through that again.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
Welcome! You can ALWAYS find support and someone to talk to here.
The hardest mental part of finding recovery is deciding that enough is enough and to make the decision to stop and never go back there.
Soon you will be done with the physical aspects, counseling with a substance abuse counselor might be a really good move to make at this point in your recovery.
You never have to feel like this EVER again as long as you continue to move forward and never look back!
