Another Day 1.. Finally posting
I have come to this site before just to read and have stayed behind the screen... too embarrassed to even post to hear supportive words(Crazy I know) but that's the anxiety...
Went on a 4 day bender this week and felt terrible yesterday (shocking right?!).. Had a few drinks just to calm my shakes... Didn't work, obviously.
So today is a new day 1.. Spent most of it reading others posts and doing things to try to relax
What a waste of a week.. I have been doing great with not drinking for 2 months and have been feeling SO GOOD... Before that was a solid year of drinking on and off
these withdrawals are the worst I've had for sure
I was so panicked last night I had to take anxiety meds to calm down.. I don't even have anything to be panicked about!! It's crazy how this disease gets into your head like that
I'm done.. so done and SO ready to quit for good
I have tried so many times but never really wanted to and I am finally there..
I don't have a lot of support from family never have.. and I've been hiding my drinking from my boyfriend(what a terrible girlfriend) and don't want to go to AA meetings.. So I'm here.. Hoping this works because if nothing changes nothing changes and I'm sooo ready for change

DD931- welcome. You are right about nothing changing. Sounds like from that you may have been to meetings. They can help. Hope is all good. I hope to be a millionaire one day to do good things to help people. Hope needs action.
I think perhaps you need to see a doctor about the physical symptoms of how the booze is attacking your body. Just posting here will probably not change much. Doctor for safe detox, day to day support and a PLAN. How do you intend to put into action your hopes for change? Addiction cannot be wished away.
There are lots of tools at SR- in the 'sticky' threads. Keep posting.
Support to you, PJ.
