The kindling is getting too much.

Like a lot of alcoholics I had no idea what this term meant, until I experienced it.

Then I knew that my body had, had enough.

You brought back the vivid memories of my last withdrawal/detox in May. A very frightening and scary place to be for sure, honestly thought I was going insane at one point with insomnia, then the nightmares if I did get to sleep for a few minutes. Collapsed at home the morning I finally stopped.

I remember going into the waiting room of my GP here and being in such an awful state that 3 people in the queue let me go ahead of them knowing how much trouble I was in. I too have had difficulties with AA in the past- spirituality, HP, etc. I tend not to take much notice this time around, not least cos I know what the alternative is if I don't look after myself. Coming up on 8 months sober now. You can do this.

It's amazing the pain threshold some alcoholics have.
