30 days???
I know for me drinking meant the thoughts went away or at least I didn't remember thinking them. BAD, REAL BAD, but that is why I started drinking!
I have a pinchs nerve in my shoulder and the only treament is pain pills and/or muscle relaxers. I really am scared to take them. I wonder if being an alcoholic, if I would as easily get hooked on these?

30 days???
Hey Bird and Morrison-
Nice to hear your thoughts. I am only recently trying to get a handle on my drinking. I went AF for 3 weeks> during that time I also had some weird expansive thoughts that must have come from unclogging the brainways.
Another thing that rang true is how after those 3 weeks it was so easy and normal to drink. It went with the occaision (Dave Matthews concert). It felt good, I didn' hate myself, etc. I even had 0 to drink the next day. Next thing you know 10 days have gone by without moderation or AF. And the hell of it is, it was Dave goddamned Matthews! Who the hell needs a drink when your at a concert like that? No one was going to have a bad time! I just have to learn to think that in the heat of battle.
LUVYOUALL-
I worry also about trying meds that are habbit forming. My doc gave me librium to cope with any withdrawl symptoms. Supposed to be like valium. I dried out the first time without taking them - although I DID taper off. I started drying out again last night and it was ROUGH. I was just about to get up and drink at 5:00 AM when I dozed off. So I made it, but not gracefully. What's that pilots say about any landing you can walk away from...?
I'm starting to get keyed up as the cocktail hour approaches and I think tonight I might try the librium if I get as worked up as I did last night. But I'm with you, LUV: I'm the last person who can dance with the devil of addictive drugs!
Wishing you all some strength, peace and joy.
Dave

Oh well, I guess we gotta keep the kids fingers. I have no idea why kids do these things??? My son decided to play in his sweet n sour sauce last weekend and got it all in the carpet...you know the shit is red. MY GOD! I was SO mad.
Dave welcome to our family. Take the librium, don't be miserable! You will only need it for a couple of days.

Morrison,
IT does help and has helped MANY of us. BUT, you have to want it. There is no magic pill, no magic words, no magic period! It is hard damn gut wrenching work and you have to want it more than you want that drink. I hate you are having such a bad time! Keep trying! One day it just clicks in and you are able to do it.
