Hi and welcome back misstqueent

If you are hearing voices and your bed is shaking maybe you and your Dr need to review your meds. It must b3 very hard to try and stay sober dealing with all that as well?

Hi,

Look into a 10 day inpatient detox. They will medicate you so that you won't feel any physical; aspect of withdrawel. You won't "rattle" and after 10 days your body will no longer be alcohol dependent. That's when you can start your journey, with a "headstart" It's what I did, no way hosay could I have done it on my own. My doc specifiically warned me against kicking on my own due to the chance of a fatal seizure.

Hope this is usefiul and good luck Kicking.

Welcome and I'm sorry you relapsed. I'd suggest that you talk to your doctor about the voices and bed shaking after 7 days of sobriety. Or, you could go to an ER to seek help. Either way, I do hope you continue to read and post.

I agree with others I would seek to go to an inpatient rehab center if I were you. They will have professionals there that will be able to monitor you closely to make sure you can deal with all these issues while not relapsing. Trying to do it by yourself is probably going to be too much.

Sorry you chose to drink.

anf super glad you came right back!

Talkimg to Dr will help.

It took me a long time to swallow this realization:

I have a toxic relationship with alcohol, I NEVER want to drink again. Hard to swallow.

We control our arms, hands, feet, legs, and mouths.

WE do.

Welcome back

I know the feeling and I've been there... getting six days in and then feeling so much anxiety that you march to the corner store like a zombie to pick up whatever I can find.. thoughts like, "I need this or I'm going to die."

Those early days are so difficult because alcohol has been your primarily coping method. Have you considered any other options for treatment? Talking to a doctor and being 100 percent honest may help, too.

Nobody knows what hells on earth I or you feel. I pray for your success in getting clean.

My struggle was terrible and I can only imagine yours must be even worse dealing with voices and bed shakes.

Doing good things for folks, like not confronting them when they violate my feelings or space, helps me build mental strength.

I just take a deeper breath and try to let the moment pass. It always does.

I worked with my boss yesterday and he was being a pain. I did my thing and got through it. Hopefully, he appreciated my temperance and ability. I am good at my job and he is a smart man. I know he sees everything. He tells a story of his boss talking down to him one day, literally spitting on him while he was yelling. Spitting on him. I don't think I would have survived that. I would have reacted and maybe even gotten sick. I have had physical reactions to supervisory oppression before.

Prayers for your success in dealing with all of the demons booze etc. has rallied against you. I don't have an answer other than this place saved my life.

I suffered badly for well over 1 year. I still suffer today, but I am used to it and the suffering is not as bad.

Booze causes brain damage and each relapse digs the hole deeper and deeper. I think it is an exponential effect.

Your post helped me today.

Thanks.

I'd second this advice. My ten days in Harborview in Chicago were crucial to my recovery. I was able to safely detox and got started on learning about how to live a sober life in group therapy and attending AA meetings.

And the on-site doctor provided meds and helped me understand that my liver was about to explode and further drinking was not an option.
