Day three of detox

[gettinitright]

Finally ate a decent amount of food. Was able to eat a little yesterday but very uneasy. Slept 6 hrs. too! Although very interrupted and dreaming craziness that had me in a full blown panic attack at 3:00 AM. Bad headache this morning, but not shaking! Progress, lil by little, getting there. No booze is sold here on Sundays so I'm easily safe today. Happy Sunday all.

gettinitright - my heart goes out to you, big time. My gut's been all screwed up for a couple of months now and only in the last couple of days has food been appealing. Hopefully, we'll both continue healing together. Hugs.

Clicket, WE WILL!!! It gets better I've done it before. The sleep is what kills me. The nightmares last night were bad! But, days are better each hr almost!

Hey there, yep you are bringing it all back. All I can say is please, please stick with this. Repeating withdrawl only ever gets boring and once you are through it you need never go back.

Oh I know! This us the absolute worst I've ever been. Not sure I could survive it again.

Survived day three! I ate, no panic attacks, or feeling extremely anxious. I feel very tired, so if the hamburger face looking creature doesn't chase me in my dreams tonight, I think I can sleep. Peace out peeps! Thanks for the support

Day three of detox

Can you go to a doctor to get some meds? Be honest. They will give you ativan or librium to help you for two weeks. Do not fool around with detoxing from AL. If your stomach is hurting drink ensure. It will get better. But don't take detoxing lightly. I am not trying to scare you, but it takes about 4 days to feel better. You are getting there. I have been there a million times. After my last relapse I took ativan for two days. I checked my blood pressure and pulse it settled right back in. Take a sleep pill to get some good sleep. I have been medically detoxed 3 times in life at hospitals. I should work at one. I know this stuff too well. Take a vitamin b complex it will help your digestive system recover.

Thanks Finally... Nothing I haven't done before. I know how serious detox is. I work in healthcare and this sure is not my first rodeo. Sleep is the worst for me. Mainly because I can't stop worrying about the mess I have created myself, getting better and stronger each day. I'm gonna make it back to sobriety. I was sober 2 yrs before this relapse. This one has been rough on my body. I really am honest with myself in saying I will die if I don't stop drinking.

Good on you !!

It is amazing what we do to our bodies, isn't it?

Honestly, for me, sleep didn't get good until about six weeks or so. It was worth it, though.

Hang in there.

Like you, I don't think I can redo this again. My mind and body won't take it.

I know this is true for me as well buddy. You had two years sober, well done for that. You can have that sober and happy life again, won't that be amazing?

Oh Cinders my body can't do this anymore. I have CHF, induced from drinking and barely in my 40s!! I have bruises right now I have no idea how I got them. I have attempted suicide due to depression before because I was drunk, they involuntarily committed me for 8 days due to that stunt. I can't even begin to tell you the financial mess I'm in. It's sad but I can't dwell on that or I won't stay sober

Gettinitright. Good for you. You've done it before you can do it again. Your symptoms sound very similar to what I went through last March. I ended up in ICU with pancreatitis, talk about stunts! Drinking really does destroy our bodies. Hang in there, just take it one day at a time.
