Withdrawl is bad today

[Cranberry81]

It's my second day sober after 10 years of drinking and a 6 month hardcore binge that I'm surprised didn't kill me. I started out positive, and am remaining optimistic...but I know tomorrow night I have at least 8 hours to myself without my boyfriend being home and the urge is going to come on strong. My body seems very confused right now, like I'm not myself. (My drunk self) My hands are starting to shake more and I feel sick to my stomach.

I'm so glad I'm not alone right now.

Hi Cranberry. IT WILL PASS, IT WILL PASS notice how you are feeling this is what alcohol has done to you! Notice the uncomfortable feelings and know that they are only emotions and they will pass. You will get stronger and stronger with each day.

I detoxed at home but didnt shake, im not sure about this and if you should seek some medical advise?? you may need some help with the detox process. Can anyone else help with advise on this?

I'm here with you let me know if there is anything further i can do to help.

Hang in there Cranberry. This is really hard but you can do it.

Have you checked out this section? This thread has several links about alcohol withdrawl. When I stopped drinking, I printed some things out and had my husband keep a close eye on me to make sure I didn't need medical attention. Maybe your BF could do that? Anyway, in case it's helpful here is the link: https://www.mywayout.org/community/f7...wal-13412.html

Strength and hope to you my fellow traveler..

You are not alone and you can always turn to this site when you need someone to lean on. I hope that you get a plan to deal with the times when you feel the urge. In the meantime take good care of yourself. Read about withdrawal and be sure to get professional help if you need to.

I went thru horrible withdrawl from drinking every day for the past year and a half. I got the courage to go to emergency and they gave me Thiame (which is vitamin b and some diazapam to help with the with withdrawl. It took all my courage to go and ask for help but I did it and it really helped me. I went on Thursday took friday off work ,slept all weekend with the help of the drugs and took Monday off.Tues I was good to go. If you can do this please do it was a blessing for me to go in there and get some immediate help.
All the best to you.
