Hey all,
I wrote a bit about how I ended up here in the Need Help ASAP sub-forum. I've been quitting and binge drinking over and over again since the summer. I'll make it from 3 days to a month, have a day or two binge of up to a pint (and a few times, two) of vodka/day. Prior to this new binge cycle I was a daily drinker, 8 to 10 nips of vodka a day. I only drank for a couple of years, and was only a problem drinker for about a year and 9 months as my ex was (is?) and alcoholic. We were partying winos, never beer or spirits. After we split up and I lost my job (not AL related, I worked from home) I started the day drinking for about 6 months. It's all gotta stop!
My current wife is at her mother's waiting to see if I get sober. I know if I quit this, she will come home again.
So day 1, again. A couple more hours and it's over! Yesterday I tapered pretty well, I was having the shakes and when it got so that I couldn't hold a pen or eat with a spoon, I'd have a sip. This morning it was just vitamins and supplements with milk, protein, and beef broth before work. Got through work acting like I was just tired and performing up to par, but barely. Fortunately I work alone on my shift. I never wanna go there hungover again - it's a brand new job and I can't lose it. Day two tomorrow and I expect mostly lethargy, anxiety, crap blood sugar levels, brain fog, and mild shakes. Have an ER nearby but I doubt I'll need it. I haven't during the last 8 withdrawals. Anyhow, sorry for the length. Time to veg out with a good book.
