Hi everyone,
I am finally going to get off the wrong path, and away from self medicating with alcohol. I have been going through some stuff that just hurts so bad that I've been drinking to dull the pain. Trouble is that it's gotten to the point that it is only making my life worse!
I stopped drinking last night, and searched the web and found this site. I hope to heck that I can be successful this time. I went out and bought the L-glutamine, and will read the book etc.
I do have problems with taking medications though, because I don't want to go to my family doctor to get them. I don't want this to be documented in my medical records, so I will try to do this without the meds.
I have only one concern at this point, and that is withdrawl. I don't have too many symptoms, but I'm not sure how long to expect this to go on. Also, I'm worried about the possibility of having things get worse, to the point that I have restricted my activities. Any suggestions as to how to get through this first week would be appreciated. I am drinking lots of water and herbal teas, and having a light diet. As well, I am resting alot. Part of me wants to just sleep or rest in bed until the worst is over, but I suspect that light walking and puttering around the yard is a good idea.
Anyway, thanks ahead for the input.
