Hey, I did it - just got back after 3 weeks detox/intense rehab.

Phew! It was a long journey physically, emotionally, spiritually and geographically.

Going for a long bath and nice meal with my boyfriend. Worn out and can't wait to start life.

Best BEST wishes to you!!

I'm not posting a downer, just know this..... I did 3 months and it was wonderful. But, the very minute I got home, just opening the front door made me crazy to drink. I wasn't even half way to the bathroom before I had a plan worked out. It's the old habits, even just the smells of things that can trip you up so fast. be strong, smart and most of all be rational.:h

I think it takes a brave person who can admit that they need detox and rehab. Congratulations. Celebrate and be very proud of yourself!

Please be good to yourself. Stay strong and and reep the rewards of a healthy and happy life that you justly deserve.

Stay with this site. You'll find a lot of motivation. Good luck.

Love, Me

I hope and pray that sometime soon, I too, will be able to let go of the fear of failure that is buried so deep inside me. Backsliding is the nastiest thing I can think of. Blessings to all optomists everywhere. Gimme a dose of that, you've got just what I need and want:thanks:

I failed so many times I'm not sure what I was keeping track of!! You stand up, brush off do the withdrawl and at one point it clicks. I just got so tired of feeling like shit. I somehow made it through Mon and Tues...with no sleep Mon. To feel ok Wed and Thurs...only to start the whole damn thing again Fri.

Hi UkBlonde! Welcome back!

I went to rehab for 2 1/2 weeks and while I was gone my husband had changed a lot of things around in the house so it was a little different. It really helped! I understand how gelgit felt when she got out too.

I have had a home detox 5 years ago, and been into residential treatment 18 months ago. This was like nothing I have done before - they have taught me I need to change my whole approach to life and manage my stress levels better.

Still craving but fighting, went for a take away last night and had to walk passed the off-licence.

I do believe it will become easier with time, off to an AA meeting tonight for support.

21 days AF now!

Day 23 and my first day back at work. Advice was to take it easy for a while but not so easy when I am self-employed and not earning - on top of having just paid ?6k in rehab.

Got a horrid cold so been running a temperature all day, achy too. Got my usual pre-binge chocolate craving tonight. The psychotherapist explained how the sugar is triggering my alcohol cravings, so stuck to a low-fat sweet hot chocolate to try and sate my desire. It's the best I can do right now.

Tomorrow is day 8 again - we worked out the I seem to have been on an 8 day cycle with my alcohol binges and certainly in treatment I had an emotional day 8 days after checking in, and bad cravings another 8 days later.........

Hopefully I can deal with it again tomorrow if it comes.
