    I'm brand new. In day 6 AF after detoxing myself at home (very dangerous) -- this after 4 clinical detoxes in 5 months. What is wrong with me after all the pain of getting out that I so easily give in? Someone on this site said "It is easier to STAY out than to GET out". That may be the best thing I have ever heard to remind me if/when I am poised to give in again. GETTING out is HELL. So is STAYING out, but not nearly as bad. Thanks, whoever it was who said that.:thanks:

    Welcome Beatle.
    You have come to a great place for information, support and fun.
    Hang with us, share, and hopefully, you will be on the path for recovery.

      Dear Beatle.......yes, you're probably right, detox at home is not always a good one...but you seem to be ok, so I'm glad!!:l
      And yes....you're also right, staying out is DEFINITELY better than getting out....I keep thinking of this evry time the booze monster tries to kid me that I 'need' a drink...and think about all the lovely AF days I have built up....I do NOT want to start counting from day 1 again.....

      Joining you in STAYING out my friend!!!
      Be healthy, and look after yourself with some good food, and as much rest as you have time for......Good on you beatle

            6 days! I'd say your out of the woods now.

            it's going to be hard either way...abstaining or hurting yourself...the difference is that abstaining DOES get better in time.

              Beatle, you're doing way better than me, with 6 days out. It's a tough struggle for all of us, that's why it is so good to hang out here, to talk with others who can relate.

                Tree: I so identify w/you, because I too struggle. There are times when I full of resolve & nothing can make me drink. Then a small, fleeting thought will cross my mind, & I'm off & running again. This is the very first place I have been honest & that includes DrinkTracker. Today I feel strong in spite of the fact that we have a dinner party to go to.
