I was scared to stop as well Highwind, but I just got so tired I couldn't do it anymore and had to stop.
Do you attend support groups at all? It's always helpful to listen and speak to people who have gone through the same experiences.

I hear ya. That's what brought me here. I was exhausted and it was dragging on longer and longer between attempts to quit. On Day 11 after 13 months since my last attempt to get "on the wagon". I have to remind myself daily....no matter how hard sobriety is (and it feels really hard)....it way better than dragging my butt through the day hung over....day after day. I'm scared too....but I'm more scared of alcohol at this point....it was killing me.

Highwind - you are scared to stop. Maybe if you go to a detox centre for a few days, you won't be so scared. You will be well taken care of, administered meds, and there will be doctors/nurses there, and other people to talk to.

I totally get it ....
If you have a way to do it get a physical detox now at a hospital .... the rest will have to follow, but not now.
If you can't get a physical detox .... call ANYONE who will come sit with you as you go through the shake rattle and roll. Someone to give you a hand getting out of bed and to the bathroom. Someone to help you by heating up some soup to keep you from getting weaker. Someone to be sure you have water. And most of all ... someone that is there to (just by their presence) keep you from drinking again.
No one is responsible for us, but yet I am my brothers keeper!

Today is a good day to start to feel better...you can make this happen by doing everything you need to do to make this day one...
....the fear you feel is created by the alcohol.
It will go away when you stop drinking!
If it is the WD that is causing you concern see your doc or go to the ER and get the support you need...that is their job and can be a great support for you with a safe withdrawal..
Let us know how you are going.

You will start to feel better after a few days sober. I know it seems overwhelming, but it is worth it. You will wake up with a clear mind each day, and no guilt or worries about the night before. Today seems like a great day to pour out the rest of the alcohol and make tomorrow Day One!!
You can get sober but it's hard at first. Get thru the first few days and it will start to get better.

There are those feelings of letting go of something. It is weird that it's hard to let go of something that is so toxic. Posting on here and reading has helped me tremendously.
You were successful a few months ago - you can do it again.

As a repeat offender I can assure you that the people here (most) will not give up on you!
Please don't give up on yourself.
Although I have very physical issues from my alcohol use, I really get the whole .... it's what I depend on.
Please see a doctor. I went on Tuesday and his nurse spent a 1/2 hour with me and he spent an hour with me. He can't really get me sober, but he was able to look at some of the stuff that I use as an excuse and work for solutions on that ....
I also depend on it. Switching to using other methods to deal with both physical and emotional stuff is hard. I know it can be done. I can promise you it can be done. It does take a lot of commitment, but there are people here to help you through (hug)
