The anxiety is really bad still, and I still cant get in (dang not having insurance). The same goes; I can get through this until I can get treatment

Hi there. Hoping you are doing okay.

Withdrawals can be pretty darned scary.

Let us know how you are doing and if you can get into rehab.

Best of luck.

So I finally got in, checked in at midnight that night, and after two and half days they released me. It wasn't a pleasant experience; I mulled around, slept a lot (because there wan't much else to do), and from time to time they treated me with various medication (Librium being the benzo they use). What made it most unpleasant, though, was that--despite that when I went in and the people there assured me that they would be supportive while monitoring me--I was treated like human garbage. If I had a problem, instead of the 'we'll help you get through this' reaction I would have expected, it was more along the lines of 'this is your fault, asshole, deal with it'. I was glad to be out.


I'm concerned, though, because even after being out, my treatment having been declared completed, my fingers are starting to get trembly again, making me somewhat maladroit. Is this normal?

Oh, and to spare you the math, I've been out for a little over two days

The psychological addiction sticks around for a while. You need to learn how to live your life and feel emotions without alcohol involved. I think your shakiness and anxiety is normal. Just have peace in knowing that you are not in danger of having a seizure.

I'm new too!

It's my first day, too. I kinda did the same thing today as well. The anxiety over the thought of not drinking is probably the worst. I've been feeling very alone all day. Your post made me realize I'm not. Some of the anxiety is going away knowing that I'm making a good decision to do this. Stay in there.

Yay! :wd: I'm really glad I found this place, too; the support offered here is tremendous, and without it, I'm not sure I would have been able to take that first real step.
I only started a few days ago, myself, but I'm with you. We can do this.

IT ...... You CAN do this. The first week is hard, you will feel out of body and your brain will be screaming at you to drink. Just remember alcohol CAUSED this, NOT drinking will cure it.
Nothing you are going to experience is worse than 90% here went through and we got through to a good place........ One day at a time

Try not to intellectualise it .....treat it like a bad case of flu

I wish you courage

I have not been on the site for a little while so I am probably a little late on this. I wish you only the best. This is such a struggle for me as well. I can't quite put my finger on why it has been so hard this time, but hopefully I can come to terms with this and get to the root of my problem. We are all in this together. It is hard and it sucks, but it is well worth the rewards to being alcohol free. Take care.
