Hi 73Hope.

Welcome to the forum. You'll find a lot of friendly helpful people here. It's been a great support network for me. I hope it helps you as well.

Are you sober now, or working towards that?

Well done.

Dee has a great thread on here about making a plan that's worth a read...

You're not shackled to not drinking, you're free from drinking

Don't hesitate to get a doctor involved when in the detox phase. I did and he prescribed Naltexone, which is supposed to help.......and I think it does. Day 5 for me and going OK.

Welcome Hope

When did you last have a drink ? Depends how much and how often you have been drinking as to what withdrawal s you will get . If you have drunk fairy heavily or regularly for a long time it is advisable to see the doctor for advice or some medication to help .

Hello 73 Hope!

I was so afraid of joining up I waited more than 30 days after I detoxed. Wish I had started earlier. Good for you

Welcome! Stick close to SR for support. Remember, withdrawal is temporary. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the promise of a lifetime of sobriety.
