:new: My husband and I both have been heavy drinkers for over 5 years and tried to stop thousands of time. We managed to make it 5 days so far. The first two days I was sick in bed from drinking so much last weekend. The 3rd day was terrible! I wanted a drink SO bad and I didn't sleep at all that night, because vodka made me eventually pass out for the night. The 4th day I was so sleepy all day and never thought about it even though I only slept 3 hours that night. Today is my fifth day and I want a drink SO SO bad. Please encourage me. How long will this detox or symptoms last? :thanks:

You have come a long way being on day 5. You are not alone as alot of people here have been through what you are going through now. It should get easier soon, just read posts and look around, this is a great website and you have come to the right place. You may still have some sleeplessness but the worst should be over soon.
Best to you2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be. -

Hang in there, SOBS. It does take a while. Check in the tools for info, go to Need Help ASAP, read all the stories, but if you really feel ill, go to the ER. Detoxing is tough, and can be dangerous for some. You CAN do this. I did. Keep posting, keep asking for help. We're here for you.sigpic

Hang in there...
that's what I am trying to do. You are five days in. Today is my first. I guess if you and others can do it and just keep building on success day by day you will be in charge & not the bottle. I'm sitting here on a razors edge... should I or shouldn't I. It's *%$#@*$ tough and I am not strong right now. You sound like you are ready, DO it!! I wish you well. If I fail today I will stand again tomorrow. best to you, HComment

You can do it! What is the alternative? We have to be happy in this short life! It could end tomorrow and how sad for those we leave behind, knowing how miserable we were.
I know there is a light of this long dark tunnel. Keep presseing on one day or one minute at a time!

Welcome Sick Hyper and Sweetbella,
We all had to start and it is hard, damn hard, but soooo quickly it becomes worthwhile and easier, imho the first five days are the worst, you're dealing with everything, physical sweats trembles sleeplesness etc mental, hell really and missing it oh how I missed it. This is REALLY worth it, I went from feeling a waste of space to being a very important person in my life in such a short period of time. Keep coming to this place, it makes such a difference to me,
23 days AF this timeContentedly sober since 27/12/2011
contentedly NF since 8/04/14
