Hey, I've been on a bender since the last time we spoke guys. I'm ****** up sitting at the bus station right now. The reason I went on another tear today, is cause I didn't wanna go through the withdrawals. Maybe I need some rehab.

Just be there with me because I'm going to shake and convulse tonight, when I come off the booze.

People will be here no matter what condition you're in, but no one can help you if you don't take steps to help yourself.

And I know, I need help. I'm grossly overindulgent. :,( it ******* hurts. But, I live alone and I'm worried I might have a seizure tonight because I wake up in the middle of the night shaking. And I can't get back to bed, when I'm withdrawing. So I'm asking if maybe 1 person could just be there to talk to me tonight.

Hi again

There will be people around - this is a 24/7 website...

but if you think you're in any danger of seizure or convulsion you need to get some face to face medical help, even if it's the local ER.

Get yourself to the ER. If there's one near you that's attached to a hospital that has a detox, asked to be admitted. Your life may be in danger, and no amount of talking can prevent you from seizing.

Heard and thank you Dee. I'll keep my phone nearby and call the E.R. If I feel my shakes get too bad. I'm not as bad as I've been, I've never had a seizure, but I shake and hallucinate if I don't have some sort of booze level in my blood stream, after benders. And I went out and got tore up to ward off the shakes this morning. But, I want this to be my last day drinking.

I'm gonna walk over to the library and see if they hav a copy of Going Sober. I'm getting some food at a cafe, right now. I saw earlier, that someone recommended the book Going Sober. The librarian loves me over there too. So, I'm gonna be ok.

Please go to an ER if you feel concerned at all. Detoxing from alcohol is unpredictable and just because you didn't have seizures in the past doesn't mean you won't now.

There is always someone here, so keep reading and posting.

I'll call the clinic if I feel it getting bad. I'm already away from the downtown area and I don't keep booze in the house. So, I will call if it gets bad. I feel better now that I have some food in me.

Take care of yourself man. Quite honestly, it sounds horrible, but many of us have been there, but don't want to go back. You can do that too. Just get through the next 48 hrs safely. Thinking about ya.

Hi. Based on the way things are going, you won't have a choice soon - sobriety will be exacted upon you in jail.

Is that what it's going to take to finally sober up?

Glad you are feeling a little better, don't hesitate to go to the hospital if you start to feel bad again.

You can do this, and you will find lots of support on this website. Glad you are here.

Welcome.. glad you're here.
This place has played a huge part in helping with my sobriety.
You mentioned reading... I've always been a huge reader too (obviously not while drinking)... these days I have gone a little bit crazy ordering novels and or/recovery related books off Amazon. Better than spending all my money on beer though.
Adding reading to your toolbox might be a good idea.

Hope the withdrawal isn't too bad but keep that phone at hand as things can change so quickly
