-Soymilk "silk has the best tasting - whenever I thought I wanted a drink, I would have soymilk and trust me after that, you will not desire a drink of anything.


Hhaha! Winelove... I agree Soymilk definitely kills the desire to indulge in alcohol. I use it instead of milk when I make smoothies. It doesn't taste as horrible w/bananas and blueberries but has the same effect!

My neighbor loves it, I think it's almost as bad as left over salmon!

hi guys,
woke up at 3am and had another 1/4 tab of bac stayed awake for a while but then crashed till 8am which is really strange for me normally the bad WD's kick in and have to have a drink to calm them down.

this morn woke without shakes or being sick still a bit wobbly and slowly had 1 can of beer, am taking 7.25mgs every 6 hours,

am really sweating a lot.. is that a good sign??? is it the booze coming out???
starting to fancy a drink but am fighting it, not got any in the house and trying to occupy myself with chores..

spoke with my son this morn he was really happy and it lifted me to really do it right this time.
it is such a big help when I read all your post I keep reading them time & time again.

Hi LJ,
The sweats are a normal part of withdrawal. Make sure you drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
Keeping yourself busy is a good thing, plus reading and posting here and some gentle exercise if you can manage it.
Maybe try writing down your reasons (in graphic detail) for wanting to quit along with your plans for your new and sober life.
Your boy is going to be so very proud of his mum!

Hey, LJ

You're sounding good. Well done on your progress so far!

She sweats are normal, and will pass soon enough.

Please feel free to PM me if you want to discuss how you're doing on the bac, OK?

Keep it up - you'll get there!

I drank for over 26 years (I can say drank now since for 3 days, I have gone AF). I do believe it is dangerous going cold turkey. I thought I would die at first. It's going on 5:00 AM and no sleep for the third straight day. I sleep during the day since I am a college student (an old one, but still one). It feels to me like sticking my head in an ants hill every day. All through the night (trying to fall asleep) I have been itching so badly, I think my skin will be raw by sunrise. I just gave up and am on the computer again. Hang in there, no matter how tough it gets, you have God. You will never be tempted so much that yo cannot succeed. Look at Jesus, he bled through his pours in the garden - I don't think anyone will ever have that much anguish to bleed through your skin pors. You can do it...

Yep, I know what you mean about the ants when trying to sleep, when I tried to sleep AF the first night, before starting the BAC it was like I had been three days without sleep, driving on a long journey, dizzy and my head hurt and just couldn't drop off, was like a zombie shaking,being sick and very frightend I might die if I stopped cold turkey.

thats when I found you guys....

it doesn't last long my sleep periods now, but it's getting better, I still wake up in the middle of the night but at least I am getting some sleep...and after a bit of a tab of BAC, after a while I drop off again..without the help of booze to make me sleep.

they start the random tests this week so I have got to really be a good girl..!!

I have been having less and less each day as Cat suggested.. just hope I will be OK tomorrow when I cannot risk to have any...!!!! don't want them to know just how dependant I was again on it !!!

probably I will be back in front of my PC again in the middle of the night and I can look to your posts from before for courage.. thanks to all of you, you give me strength and hope that I can do this..

LJ, you CAN do this,
You are doing wonderfully already and I think you have the desire to quit.
Post away whatever time of day or night it is, there is usually someone here.
I have been on at all hours.
Just keep on telling yourself you will succeed over and over again....and you will!

Hi Ladyjan I missed your earlier posts so may I offer you a belated welcome. Well done on how far you have come, the sleeping will settle down after a while, your body is going through big changes but you can do this. As Startingover said there is always someone here day or night as we are all in different time zones.
Keep safe
