Hi I’m gill,
Over time I’ve become addicted to wine.
I have now had to drink to start functioning at work I shake really bad. Does anyone have any tips to help me stop shaking and feeling sick all the time?
Thankyou

Hi Gill, I was like that a couple years ago, so physically addicted the only way to stop the shakes was to drink, I was going through a bottle of vodka a day at my worst. Can’t believe how bad I had become and I think coming to this forum saved me... knowing if others can quit so can I!

Yes I relapsed a couple times but more than ever determined to make it stick this time.... if I can do it, YOU CAN DO IT!

Hi Gillian - Welcome to SR

The only way I know is to stop drinking - you'll probably feel shaking and sick again for a little while, but it'll be the last time you have to feel that way

There's tons of support here - I'm glad you found us

As the post above say you have to STOP drinking.

Try to stick around and keep posting by joining a few regular threads

We have all drank differently, different amounts, but the one thing is at one moment in our life we have come to a point where we know that once we start we cannot stop. It is progressive thing and it does only get worse.
It can also be a pathway to harder and more disastrous drugs...

I managed to pull myself out of it at 41. Some may say i was a slow learner some may say fast but the only thing that matters is stopping.

So ask yourself do you want to stop shaking or stop drinking !!

how are you today Gillianmynett ?

keep in mind ...

its the 1st drink that gets us drunk not the 20th

we cant get drunk without that 1st drink

our choice is between miserable unhappy drunken drinking and all the consequences

or

not taking 1 drink

God bless

Keep this in mind, the point you are at now is not sustainable. I also got to the point where I was physically needing alcohol as soon as I woke up, just to be able to face the day.

You have no option but to stop drinking. To carry on drinking will lead to physical and mental turmoil with no end in sight. You can stop all this now by just stopping drinking and never touching it again. Humans do not need alcohol, it is a poison, a drug and if it was just discovered now it would be banned around the world.

To stop your addiction, see a medical professional ( a doctor ) for a safe detox since you are physically addicted now. You can get through all this!!!!
Sending you love and hugs!
