Pretty sure "i told you so" is supposed to go here...
I am not a very active member here, but made a fairly serious post not long ago..
Turns out my fears are real, and not one safe sip left in me ,without the great fear of seizure.
it happened a second time. Thankfully i was already at the er just hoping for withdrawn meds. Instead i terrified my loved, just my head scanned and a nice 3 day/2 night stay in the ICU.
i isn't worth in my case, and seems my days of outrunning it are over.
i do this again, i believe i will naught leave the hospital

I am pretty sure the seizures were on the horizon for me. I had a couple of close calls, while driving, that were the firestarter of my lifestyle change.
Thank God for SR. Without this place, I was doomed.
Thanks.

Apri- that happened to me. My alcoholism had not finished its final run for infamy and I got a whole lot worse- the worst it could ever possibly get.. I truly hope you are smarter than me and take heed on you hospital stay...
My prayers and support to you.

I found out last month that most withdrawal-related fits kill you because you go into cardiac arrest. This happened to me on my second fit, I have never fitted before during withdrawals. Luckily my daughter was with me or I would be dead. This is as serious as it gets xx

Daisy that is frightening and a blessing your daughter was there to get you help. I am thankful my loved ones were there to save me as well but also ashamed to have put them through that. This addiction is shameful and ugly to be sure.
I have been 100 percent honest with my loved ones and medical team since and even though its humiliating, its been so helpful for my recovery.
My prayers for everyone is they look for help and are honest with those they love before it get to such dangerous point.

Thanks for asking! So far so good. Sober, did an online meeting. I have been brutally honest and it actually feels a bit like a weight has lifted even though i am still ashamed. Determined to stay sober as my life absolute depends on it.
