Hi Sosad!

I can completely relate to the south end of the donkey feeling. I am on day 2. I didn't sleep well. No appetite. Shaky. I feel hot one minute and freezing the next. I have had 4 AF days this week, and 3 drunken days. Hang in there and know that you are not alone!

Thanks all. I woke up this morning and drank a ton of ice water. Dreamweaver, I get the chills and hot flashes as well. The old body just has to adjust being free of alcohol. The biggest pain to me is the weakness I feel in my legs. I just can't seem to do anything physical right now damnit.

Sosad,
I know what you mean. I am in dire need of a shower but my legs don't feel steady. I feel happy/sad/mad/etc all at the same time. What day are you on?

Thank you Zenstyle! I'm hanging in there.

I suppose I could wash my hair in the tub! I might try to lay back down after that. Maybe have some toast and tea.

I'm on day one DreamWeaver. I feel like total crap.

Let's try to buddy up and get through today! I managed to get a shower (I stunk so bad) and make a little toast and tea with a banana. I'm shaking like a leaf. It's hard because that sneaky little voice in my head says, "You know what will stop that." Hang in there! I'm hanging on!

It had been 3 days since the last time I showered! I was pretty ripe with sweating out the booze. I got clean pajamas on. I don't take very good care of myself when I'm drinking. Detoxing is pretty rough! I'm just going to pretend that I have the flu and try to shut up the little voice in my head that whispers, "A drink will make you feel better!"

Hi sosad, for my first few days I had a duvet on the couch and slept whenever I felt like it ......... please don't give into AL to make yourself feel better as it will react badly with the librium ......... My doc gave me a higher dose for the first few days so that I didn't suffer withdrawal, could you give him/her a call and ask if you can up your dose????

Big big hugs to you, and to everyone else here that is struggling ...........BB xx :h:h:h

I'm just eating when I feel able. I have some pizza that I am nibbling on. Dreamweaver, you hang in there okay?

I have movies coming from NetFlix today. I will spend the day on the couch with a blanket. National Slob Day, I'm in! Earlier this week I went 2 days AF and felt worse then. Then I drank for 2 days. Now I am on day 2 AF again. It feels like I am just dragging out the detox. I have some nausea, shakiness, anxiety, insomnia, etc... It is bearable so far. I am able to keep down the toast. I'm drinking a lot of water. It will probably get a little worse before it starts getting better.

My doctor gave me plenty of librium. I suppose if I had to I could take more. Thank you betty.

Zenstyle what is stodge?

Sosad. Librium really helps. I don't have it this time, but I have before. Are you able to sleep?

I'm definately a stodge lover then! The detox kind of feel like waves! I'll feel okay for a bit and then POW, it feel like my skin is peeled off and I am coming out of my skin. I don't have any benzos. Last time I had prescriptions for them I was mixing them with the hard stuff and ended up in detox for 10 days. That was a 1-1/2 years ago.

So, my doc prescribed 4 x 5mg tabs at 8am, 12noon, 6pm, and 10pm for the first day which is far more than you are taking and it worked brilliantly!!!!!

Zen, Librium is a type of Benzo ..........

Love to everone and take care ..........xxx
