Hi Jackie, I don't need a list. There is nothing good about AL those three little glasses of wine made me so sick this morning, my body doesn't want it anymore. My hubby is still yelling about how boring our live is going to be. HUH? I've spent the last 8 years drinking and watching my ass seperate on the same bar stool..HELLO! That's not so exciting to me.

Kdog, Thank you, I lost a day so today is day 9 to me. My MIL is home with her bottle of Gin, she'll be just fine. Now that's a sad story. Like Jackie said, we'll save that one for another time.

stumpy, ok then, Keep the faith for day 9! On day 5 here, feeling sluggish, but I think thats the 10 hours of sleep! Sorry your MIL didn't get help way back! But that is just a reminder to the rest of us all, Do we want to do that to our kids? I think NOT!
Take care and rest as much as possible.

Stumpy,

Sorry you hit a glitch...you can get past it...I can tell you are determined. Your MIL should be a walking advertisement of what you do NOT want to become. I remember one time I was at the liquor store and I was buying a 12 pack and there was an older lady in front of me buying a 18 pack, and I thought "That's me in a few years if I don't change".... For some reason that still sticks with me. Hell that lady may have only been a couple years older than me, but she looked old and used up. Let your MIL be your motivation. You are not going to turn out like her! You can do this...I know you can.

xoxo

Thanks K9 an Kdog, I'm fine now and I feel like I am getting stronger. I will not turn out like my MIL, come to find out after we left on Saturday, my SIL and her husband were over my MIL's and drank with her that whole afternoon and that's how she fell down, after they left. It's a vicous cycle for sure.
I'm already planning my holidays with just my children and their SO's, I can't go over to MIL's house for a long time.

Stumpy, How are things going today, and how did this morning go? I am feeling pretty darn good, going to tackle a few much needed things around the house today, and I made a much needed hair appt. for Friday. Should I go for the stumpy look? J/k Lord knows I don't have enough hair for that! I have a lunch date tomorrow with some friends, and I am not going to cancel this time...LOL... cause I won't have a hangover. Isn't that awful! Suprised they still invited me and did not give up!
Ok hope alls going well, Take care!

Hi Kdog, as you know, I spent the day in hospital getting my tests done. Don't have to go back for another year, YAY for the Stump. Now, I'm home cooking more sauce/gravy. I haven't slept in two days, whatsup with dat? Kdog, I went to lunch today and had a club soda with lime and it was actually tasty. You're doing great. Keep it up buddy. Everyone wants the Stumpy look, I have to say, it doesn't look good on everyone. lol

Stumpy, glad to hear you are doing well! I have to try the tonic, I forgot to buy it yesterday while grocery shopping, dang! OH well, I'm sure I'll be out later. Yeah you got the hot hair look, what are ya you going to do.....lol

8 months ago my husband suffered a seizure due to alcohol withdrawal, he hasn't drank since but I have. Not only did I continue to drink, I drink more then ever. I found a wonderful addiction doctor who will start me on librium tonight. My husband will be home with me for the next few days and the doctor will be calling each day. I'm scared :l, I don't like meds but I don't like seizure's either. I drink 6 regular size glasses of wine per night but the weekends it's up to 8or nine. Wish me luck. I let you all know how it's going. Any advice you may have for me???

I am familiar with the siezure issue. I have had 2 during alcohol withdrawl and let me say, it was scary. First time was at home and my then wife called the EMT's. I woke up in the hospital, not remembering anything. 2nd time I was on public transit, alone and had the seizure. I woke up on the floor, my face all beat up and need 5 stiches to my nose and 3 to my eyebrow above my only working eye. SCARY!! So I started a taper program I read about online. It was going well but I was scared that if I went too fast I might have another seizure and since i'm single there would be nobody there to help me. So I called my Dr and she got me into a 3 days medical detox. That went fine, I felt great and less stress. BUT (here comes the BUTT monkey), I also am being treated for anxiety and I made it to 30 days but then some stressors happened and I started drinking again. Now it appears I need to taper again. My Dr is on maternity leave so I cant see her and frankly I am kind of embarrassed to have only made it to 30 days. I know that is flawed thinking but it's part of my anxiety issue. Just wanted to share. I'm glad i'm here.

USA, welcome and glad you found this site, I don't have a lot of advice for you, I have never had a seizure, crossing my fingers, I went to my doc and he put me on librium, I am on day 7 AF, and now tapering off the librium, 30 days sounds like a great feat to me, I hope to reach that, you might try starting your own post, and some of the people that have been there done that will come along and help you with some answers, I know I had a lot of anxiety while drinking and probably still will for awhile. I am sure there are some supplements you can take to help you out with that, which is why I suggest making your own post. Trust me the people on this site are awesome with advice and knowedge on what to take for what. I wish you the best of luck and keep us posted, mean while look around at some of the other posts and read "my story" it has a lot of info on there as well as the newbies nest.
Good luck and welcome:welcome:

Hi USA, Welcome, How on earth were you able to taper after beining in the hospital on withdrawals??? I don't understand that??? My husband had a seizuer (sp?) while I was home twice and lucky him, I was home both times. I'm confused at the fact that you did not end up staying at the hospital for at least three weeks as they made my husband do so.
There is no such thing as taper after a seizuer. You need help from a doctor. Please tell me how much you drink per day.
I want to help you. PM if you want. I would be happy to tell you about the black hole of AL.
