    Hi all,
    Had first alcohol free given the meds that I have been given not as bad as I thought :goodjob:

    2nd day totally different matter I'm up the wall, so agitated, won out and just can't be bothered myself let alone anyone else told my dad to go away and leave me alone he's 83yrs god love him I love him so much but I don't get much support its as though he just doesn't want to know I do believe its an era factor

    Never mind got that out in the open feel better for it I'm getting good support form my support worker so that's helping :thanks:

          Detox 8.9.2014 1st day

          Hi Marie. What you are experiencing is one of the most difficult challenges that you will ever face. Should you choose to continue your journey to a drug free life, you will never-ever regret your decision for doing so. Peace to you -one hour at a time.

            Detox 8.9.2014 1st day

            Hello and welcome. Like Spirit said, this is one of the most difficult challenges you will face. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawals are the only drug withdrawals that you can actually die from, so it is good you have support and are not attempting to detox alone. As my therapist (25+ years sober) once sagely put it, "I might have another drink in me, but I sure don't have another withdrawal in me."
            In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

                Think how good you'll feel in another few days, or another way to look at it is how you'll feel if you do give in "If I just hadn't had a drink I'd have x days and not having a drink didn't really take that much effort compared to having one".
                I used the Sinclair Method to beat my alcoholic drinking.

                Drank within safe limits for almost 2 years
