Well i promised my husbad i wouldnt drink tonight. He got up angry with me for passing out yet again on the sofa lastnight which kept him awake and worried when we both had to get up for work today. i apologised and promised to go to bed with him early tonight and not drink. ive been fighting the urge from about 4 pm. I even went to the shop to buy veers but put them back and bought snacks instead. ive ran a bath and poured myself a glass of wine i don even like from the back of the fridge. the look on his face when i poured said it all. im now locked in the bathroom with the wine choking back tears. i havent touched it. cant bear this sweating and shakes. feel like ive trapped myself. he is going to shout at me anyway. Oh god.

Yeah, but he can shout at a sober you not a drunk you, you need to pour that in the toilet and show him and apologize and beg him for help and support..... you can do this you really can!

Girly, hun.

The symptoms you're describing on this thread and the other are classic alcohol withdrawal symptoms. I recognize these as I've been through them more times than I care to say. They are horrible in fact worse than horrible.

I honestly think you need some medical advise. Please will you and your husband read through the link below and then NHS direct, If nothing else NHS direct will put your mind at rest.

I hate to see you suffering. It doesn't have to be like this.

Girly, first of all you made the right choice coming here! I went through the same symtoms, for years I said I would stop, but was scared of withdrals. I went to my doc and he prescribed me librium. I am now on 6 days af, and feeling awesome! If I can do it, so can you! I was drinking very heavy for years
Prior to that its was the shakes and anxiety every day! Poor out the wine, go see your doc, get some help and great things will happen! And as all the great MWO people have told me check out the tool box and make a plan! Please stick close and read, read, read. You will be suprised at the # of good folks in the same boat.
Take Care.

oh god

I didn't get the hallucinations either.
Stopping cold turkey can be very dangerous.

Just keep the number at hand.

Maybe you and your hubby can do something together, go for a walk, or go for a drive? Watch a movie, clean a closet? Anything to get you through these tough hours. I know how hard it is at first Girly, the key is to stay busy. Make sure you eat and drink plenty of NA liquids! I'm thinking of you!

Girly, Glad you made it through the night, I know its tough, Lord knows I did it enough times I can't even count, but you can do this, drink lots of water, throw in a gatorade or two, and add some lemon to your water! The shakes go away after a few days, then you start to feel like a human being again. Stay close to us, and be kind to yourself as well, Gosh I feel like a repeat of some of the posts I got, but by God it worked!
Good Luck!

oh god

I hope you are doing ok. I know giving up alcohol is hard when you are doing it for someone else. Perhaps an anti-crave med is in order.

[TheSunFlower]

oh god

I can relate to some of what you said. I think what needs to be understood....is that when we take alcohol away....our bodies go out of whack. And sometimes we get so out of whack that only solution seems to be alcohol. Which does fix it...very short term.

However, when you make it through....the other side is so much better. I know that an hour can seem like a day.

Getting all the alcohol out of your system is the first step. :h to you!
