oooooh Reccy,hun, Not nice. Two questions.
Have you been drinking more than usual since Holly died?

How long after your last drink do the shakes appear?

Just read that Reccie-never had it myself but something to talk to a doc about...maybe? Can't they give zanex (sp?) to help coming off? I'm here for awhile. As the Army lads say...we are here for everything-good and bad.

Yes, but I think you had some help from your friends.

That is seriously one of my favourite video clips ever. We had recorded it from some music show years ago when the kids were in their early teens and we watched it over and over again. It was the first time I had heard of Wet Wet Wet and Marti Pellow and I was blown away by his voice. Fantastic. What a shame he was addicted to heroin and today at the young age of 46, looks like this...



I was gobsmacked when I saw this picture recently. I wouldn't have recognized him at all.

Hiya starty. Well done with the essay! Hi EW.

Stopping cold turkey can be very dangerous...

How had the tapering been coming along?

That's an idea starty, thanks. I think my AW is trying to speak to my GP and also set up an appoinment for me.

I have been drinking a tiny bit more Jackie, not massively so. And the shakes don't totally go away even at the end of a night of drinking.

Wasn't thinking about stopping cold turkey, tips, only trying to delay for two or three hours to try to reduce consumption.

Tapering was originally going well, but then unfortunately my AW was away for several weeks and I've become very dependent on her for support so I ended up back where I started, more or less. I'm trying to make a fresh start now that she's back.

Hiya expatty and stirly!

You may need some Thiamine(Vitamin B1). You can get them over the counter at the chemists, but the sooner you see the doc the better,hun.

Hiya starty. Well done with the essay! Hi EW.

Sorry, I posted without reading back over the latest post.

Reccie, ditto what Expat said. I know that Jackie did a several-day home-detox with some kind of relaxant. You gotta do something dear Panda-Man. I know it's been hard losing Holly but you need to put yourself first and get on track to beat this AL monster. It can be done. And you've got a lot of people here willing to help you as best we can. :h:l
