So glad I found this site!
 

I haven’t had a drink in three days but I know I need to stop. I found this group after googling “itchy when stopping drinking” and voila, here I am. Terribly itchy, especially at night. Going to try Benedryl tonight. I started drinking heavily probably 2-3 years ago after being a light drinker. I know now that I will never be a light or moderate drinker again. I know this won’t be easy, but I can’t live like this any longer.
Thanks for being here!

Welcome to SR, quit4good! I'm glad you found us here.

Welcome! Hang in there. The itchiness and the rest of the physical stuff goes away after a few days.

Hi I'm so glad I found this site too 😊 I finally feel I can do this I really think it's amazing

Hi quit4good! That's the best kind of quitting there is.

Welcome, quit4good; I'm very glad you found us, and SR is a vital component of my sober journey; I hope it will be one of yours as well. I could never moderate my drinking-I have no 'off' switch once I have the first drink, and there is no predicting what will happen except that it will be horrifying. I have accepted (finally!) that if I take one more drink I will die; it will inevitably lead to my end. With a strong plan for sobriety and the help of the wonderful people here, I have been sober for 3 and a half years. I will never go back. Wishing you all the best on your sober journey, and I hope you stick around and post often.

Welcome to SR!
