Day1, help please

[SPUNKY]

:new: I've been lurking for a while but just created loggin. I'm not real sure how this works, hopefully i won't get lost in the thread. I've been trying to kick AL for a while now but haven't had much success but i'm starting to feel so bad, I have to quit or I'm going to wind up dead. I'm really really scared. I asked husband to remove all liquor from house but I've done that before too. I finally opened up to my mom and sister-in-law, but really need support from others who have been there. I think my liver is enlarged, my heart is racing and hands shaking. Please help!

Welcome spunky - as Shiner said, a great place to be! Try reading stuff in the Toolbox for help - you can download the book from the healthstore too. It is hard but it can be done - lots of folk here are AF (Alcohol free) and were where you are. If you have been lurking then you have read quite a bit - so just post and read some more - welcome and all the best on your journey,

hugs, Sun xx

Hi there Spunky.
You are among friends here who know what you have been and are going through. I am only just over a week sober, and believe me, things can look alot different in such a short time if you are ready and want to stop. Last saturday I couldnt keep anything down, had the shakes and my mind was shot to pieces. Today I feel there is a future. Have a read through and feel free to post wherever you need too. The ppl here are like you and me. Alcoholics looking for a better life. Many have found it through MWO, and as I start my own journey, I wish you all the best and hope you stick with us.

Thanks for the kind thoughts. I have been drinking way too much for way too long and have tried many times to moderate or quit with little success. I did quit once several years ago for several months but it didn't last. I just know that I have to quit or I'm going to lose myself. Like I said, I'm really scared. I'm not reallly good at talking about my thoughts and feelings. I'm hoping that opening up in this forum will help me work out some of my reasons for using alcohol.

Well, made it thru last night. Almost asked hubby to bring AL back in but didn't. High heart rate and jitters made it really hard to sleep, only got a couple hours. I'm back two work after a week off to take care of my 7yr old with appendicitis. Tonights going to be a tough on because i'll be really tired and have to get kids through homework. I'll check back later
