Another day zero
How do you guys/ladies prep for a detox. Deff not going to rehab. **** painful tho. Just got my insurance (from my new job) so now I can use it. But yea, new job. Need to keep it but yea body hurts. Super bad. Always embarrassing but yea I know you all know the deal. Not looking for an ass kicking. It’s a hard job to be an alcoholic and keep a job. Just looking to quit for good.

I'm glad you're looking to stop drinking for good.
Detoxing from alcohol is unpredictable and can be dangerous. It you have concerns, do talk to your dr. Other than that, generally drink lots of water, eat regular meals and try to exercise a bit. You can get through this.

It amazed me how less difficult my work life became after sobering up. Yah, there are still stressors etc. But holy cow is it easier to be productive. Also no longer have the constant struggle just to stay awake. It's worth it. Good luck!

Hi RollMeAway - welcome back 
Sometimes it helps to write out a list - write down what you're prepared to do now to change for good, and what not you're not pcurrently repared to do.
Go with the easy stuff first, cross off anything that doesn't work - and save that 'not prepared' list in case you need to reconsider it later.

Hi RollMeAway (love that song). I'm happy you're looking to reclaim your life & get free of that horrible trap. I was in it for 30 yrs. It stole so much of my life & killed my spirit. You can get past this phase and begin to heal. I hope you'll stay with us & keep posting.

Hang in there Roll. For me, tapering would be very tough. I recall the times I congratulated myself when I went to bed having had only 5-6 drinks. The next day I made up for it and it seemed I had to get my BAC back up to normal. You can do this. I know you just got your insurance, but have you considered seeing a Dr, perhaps getting some meds to help you through a detox? I'm rooting for you.
