Kensho - The anxiety is normal and will go away, I promise. That's just AL trying to convince you that you need him to "cure" you...when in reality, he's what caused it in the first place! Hang in there. :h Do you have any Valerian Root or Kava Kava? Both of these help me when I feel a bit anxios.

Kensho Valerian root worked for me. Just a warning though it smells awful Don't let that stop you from trying it though.

Ok, will try. Not afraid of something smelly if it helps!! Thank you!

It smells like dirty socks! But it comes in capsules so just swallow it down real quick!

Kensho, for some reason, I did better on the odd (1,3,5 and 7) days than the even ones....but here is the good news...you won't have 2 bad days in a row. Like Dots said, all the AL is out of your system now, and booze brain is working on you...it wants a fix, BAD! Don't listen to it! EAT! Stay strong and shake off this beast once and for all, hang in there, you will be so glad you did!! B

Glad to hear it Pauly, because if it stays this hard I'd probably just rather be a drinker.

Have you really never felt worse than you do right now after drinking? I'm not trying to dismiss how you are feeling but if you are like most people here, you have endured much, much worse, over and over. Nothing that is happening to you right now will actually harm you. It will pass and over time, won't even happen anymore. You can do this, Kensho, and if you stay tough now, you'll never have to again feel how you do right now. All the best, NS

If you tell me it will get easier than this, I will hang in there. This is hard.

It does get easier or no one would make it, right? Use your plan, try to get your mind off yourself, and think about long-term, lasting rewards. They mean so much more than the fleeting relief you think you would get from drinking. I don't know that I would be able to enjoy it at all. We can't suddenly unlearn what we now know. Right now very well could be the worst you'll ever feel. Tomorrow, you'll be so glad you did it. Play out how you'll feel when you wake up, depending on what choice you make tonight. You can do this :l.

Can you take a bubble bath or give the dog a bath? Just anything to pass some time? Be sure to eat, that will help tremendously!

Donuts and epsom salts? I'm hanging in there. Life just feels so different and I panic sometimes wondering how to recreate the new time I have. I'm sure I'll fill it. I knew how to do it the other way and I miss it. Just needed to hear that it wouldn't always feel like this. Thanks y'all. 2 hours to go.
