    It almost did me in

    25 year drinker, last 12 years really bad. I wonder how I got to this state. AL almost destroyed my life. Hope it's not too late. I will post my story later. Anyway, I am on day 4 - Yesterday was a Beeeotch, It was about 4:00 and I almost convinced myself to have "a few" drinks. Was planning, justifying, internal struggle. Somehow i didn't have the drink. I probably Havn' t gone 4 days AF since I was a teenager.
    I finally slept a little last night after taking GABA, Melatonin.... Can't wait to start feeling better. My head is still fuzzy, almost like I am still drinking, but at least I am not sick and can actually eat something during the day. I am a smoker too, Once my body stabilizes from AL abuse I will quit that too. A different quality of life is on the horizon and I can't wait to see what it's like. But for now, just 7 days...7 days baby!!!!

    Good luck to everyone,

    Hi Doink ... love your avatar.
    You have come to the right place if you want to talk and get alot of support. We are all struggling here, some more than others but everyone has been there. Hang in and check back often.

    Love and Peace

      Doink, Boy, do I know how you feel.. You didn't mention anything else you're taking, but, if you're not, get yourself some EmergenC and drink it in 8 oz of water 3-4 times a day. You also need calcium (taken just before bedtime helps you sleep) and a whole lot of magnesium. It also comes in liquid form that you can actually rub into your skin. Your body needs a lot of help to get to feeling better. I love this forum. :h Glad you found your way here! g.

              Hey Doink! :welcome:

              First, congratulations on taking this step. It's great and you've certainly
              come to the right place. I am on day 11 AF, mostly due to this site and
              the folks here. The MWO book is fantastic, too.

              Take care of yourself :l
