I'm gonna go threw withdrawl today...any suggestions?

Kinda sucks. Hope it won't be too bad. I've been drinking pretty regularly for about a month...most vodka...and mostly only at night. The last week or so I've been day drinking too...beer and vodka.

I'm taking some Valerian right now. Any other suggestions?

Hiya DMac,
Welcome to you.
I would suggest lots and lots of water. Do you have any lglutamine? Also eat if you can and rest.
I likened my withdrawals to flu and treated it as such.
Good luck and stay close to the boards, the support will help you.

Welcome DMac,
Ditto on the advice from Starts -- drink lots and lots of water.
Vitamin C can also help detox the liver and blood. Take 1000mg every 2 to 4 hours during withdrawal, until cravings have passed.
Stay close, we're here to help:-)

Water...that's good. Luckily I always drink plenty of it. I don't have any Glutamine...but I did a google search and see that it's in milk, eggs...and other stuff I have. I don't have any vitamin C but I think I have some Orange Juice.

So far I'm just a little shaky...and my feet are very cold.

How far into it are you DMac, you never know, you might escape the worst of it. Not everyone has a tough time.
Keep warm and distracted if you can. Watch a film, read, walk or simply stay here and chat. Anything to stop you dwelling on stuff.
Well done for giving this a go, you wont regret it.

I'm only a couple hours into it. Today is the first day in several that I'm not drinking upon waking. I plan to quit for good this time...or at least for a long time until I have more self control...but I'm not gonna worry about that right now...I'll just make it through today.

I don't think it will be terribly bad...I hope.
Good idea on the not dwelling on it too much....don't want to make myself overanxious...that will just make it worse.

I don't know why I poison myself.

Ahh we all wonder why we do this to ourselves I think...
At least we have to the tools to stop and clean up eh?

Umm, maybe, I felt flu like and kind of shivery. Is that it?

No...it's like if you ever got chills down your spine...oh this is gonna be bad.

Deep breathes Dmac, can you go for a walk?
Honestly, some exercise will really help you.

Cramps in my arm...I felt like I had parkison's a second ago trying to type... I'm gonna try to distract myself rather than giving every symptom as it happens. A walk is out of the question right now...too spacey. I'll check back in later.

Yep, distraction and try not to worry...
See you in a while.

Way to go on Day 1, DMac! A hot bath might made you feel better. It also helps release the toxins in your system.
