Having a hard time just relaxing. I've had problems with anxiety before

Have you tried the breathing into a paper bag trick???? i get A LOT of panic attacks...everything goes numb, heart races etc, and my doc told me to breathe into a paper bag...not too deeply, but for a good 10 minutes or at least until the anxiety subsides...something to do with the body being overloaded with oxygen and not enough CO2...which sounds wrong, but apparently your breathing patterns change when you are anxious, and everything goes a bit haywire...not sure if this will work 'the day after' , but it may be worth a try.......??

Hi kit- I can certainly sympathize and empathize with how you are feeling. I would drink milk (I know that may sound awful to some but it helped me) and then maybe hot tea. I would usually have just bread or something very mild. Sleep is the best though. Old movies and a comfy bed or couch.
It's like having the flu so take care of yourself and do your best to relax.
Hope you feel better soon.

I use gatorade or lots of water to rehydrate. I understand how you're feeling. It's awful

Herbal tea!

Hi Kit,
You have been given some good advise and I have little to ad. I usually make myself a pot of Camomile tea, as it is very soothing on a raw stomach as well. It takes time and a good sleep. I wish you well soon.
Hugs Lori

go put some sweats on or your favorite pj's and go to sleep - If your gonna stay up take a shower and try some aromatherapy nice shampoo - This makes me feel better- get dressed and start cleaning up the house then when your good and tired get in bed, who cares if you take a million breaks it might help

Kitkat,

I think Hawk's idea about pedialyte sounds good. Also, if you have anxiety maybe 5-HTP could help. Sip your water and I meant take a SLOW walk, not power walk .... also PP has a point about the bath. Eat something - coat your tummy. Be on chat tonight. NO BOOZE before okay?

Hugs and kisses, and drooling ... (dentist gave me like 8 shots I think!!)

You will heal but don't fool yourself that it will happen overnight. There is no magic pill. trust me I know. Just keep checking in and doing exactly what you are. There is a great community of people at the touch of your fingers

The thing is I know at some point I will be sober again I just fear the rollercoaster ride where I do this again

I also fear people finding out it seems as though alcoholics are treated as weak and porias at least from my experience and I think your right kateit is psychological I don't crave alcohol just the sence of escape I guess thats pretty sad
