Tomorrow will be a long day for both of us! I am so tired of waking up with diarrhea and throwing up! EVERY DAY! I'm giving you a cyber hug! I plan to do the BRAT diet to reduce the stomach stuff. I think I will add some kudzo and L-glut also. We both need a fighting chance. It's so hard if your first thought in the morning is a drink!

Oh great! Family is here! I have to go! It's hard to appear sober when your not. My mom has 16 years sober. I can't fool her. I will check in later. In the meantime, remember you are not alone!

Yeah - I know the drill. I try to smile a lot and talk little. I went and got most of the suppliments tonight so we'll see. You too remember that you are not alone. Well do this sooner or later and I am shooting for sooner. I'm tired of being sick too - I just hope that I don't have to crash and burn before I finally quit.

I feel a little braver, knowing that you are feeling the same stuff. I hate lying to my mom. I told her I only had 1 (24-oz) I have had 5! I never tell her that it has 8.1%. Yeah, I drink the cheap, nasty beer.

It sounds horrible....but, I don't feel so alone......If you are trying too! It has been a long time since I even went a week without drinking! By day 2-3, I am climbing the walls! Hang in there! Tomorrow is my quit date!

My quit date is tomorrow too! I’ve had some wine tonight as always (cheep box stuff) but even so I am optimistic. I’ve tried to quit before but I get the shakes and anxiety and I can’t sleep. I’ve made three weeks once but usually no more than five days (I’ve been deep in the bottle for at least 15 years). But that is the past. We have the future. If we succeed in quitting, great. If we don’t, we try again later. We are not alone. I’ve heard from people all over the world today who have went through (and are going through) what we are going through. Cyberhug!!!!!

I think I need a plan! Good intentions haven't gotten me anywhere? I will probably sleep most of the day tomorrow and drink a lot of water. Then, I will be up most of the night! I will get some supplements. There is no avoiding the "sickness" that follows. I keep telling myself, the "booze sick" will be gone within the week! We just have to make it over the hump! If we can get through the detox together, I think we might stand a chance of getting 30 days! If I we can get 30, maybe we can get 60 and so on!

Alright Dreamweaver - we have a plan. We must check in daily. I have a busness trip this weekend and most of next week but I will try to stay in touch. Do you have some one there who is supportive? Who can sort of understand? I hope so.

Elpis, I am starting a new day (tomorrow). I have a wonderful husband, a 9 year old son, and a jack russell terrier, in other words, I have my hands full. I feel like I will miss alot without my family here. My theripist told me these words that will live with me forever, "It's either the wine or your family." It's hard and I believe it's okay to start over.. Good Luck!

Welcome Savannah! I think if we band together we might make it through day 1! I am hoping to look in the mirror, a month from now, and not see the bloating, dark circles, and self-loathing that have been my constant companions! I hope there are lurkers that might give 24 hours a chance. I can't do it alone!

Elpis! I would still be lurking, if it wasn't for your heartfelt post! I'm going to need a lot of help just getting through the 1st day! My mom has 16 years sober and is helping me (again)!

Boy do I know Dreamweaver. I am not looking forward to tomorrow - yet I am. One day at a time... or one minute at a time. I'm glad you didn't lurk and yes, that was about as honest as I have been in a long time. Time to pass out. Chat tomorrow.

WELCOME

I hope you will find proper support with the doctor tomorrow....we are all here for you too. This site is wonderful....read what you can, post when you want/need to. Look at the tools threads etc and see what best relates to you. I am afraid I know nothing of physical withdrawal, but please be very careful as stated above....there are plenty of people here who can help guide you better on that one..

For now sending support

Moo

Hi Dreamie,
A home de-tox after a visit to my doc who put me on to this site. Support from all the caring people here.
Support from my husband. And pure damn determination that I was going let things go belly up yet again.
Have another cyber hug.
