Cheech, I think it depends heavily on the individual. I feel cold turkey is a health threat to me, but I get withdrawals even after a weekend binge, and after a week of daily drinking they are pretty bad. Why not try cold turkey, and if you feel too bad, see doctor and get possibly get some meds?

Hola all,

I have been sober for 30 days now! I did not make my cut off day in oct and really was disappointed in myself!! I had made a promise to my counciler to quit and still that was not enough to quit? I had made countless promises to my wife and she had reached the point of not even listening, can't blame her! Then I realized I needed to do this for myself no one else!!?? My wife and my daughter's 1st bday was comin up and I thought what better time to quit!? I had been trying to ween and no success, I realized that i just needed to quit cold turkey! It sucked, hurt physically and emotionally but I stuck it out!!! Now I am at 30 days and still takin it odat, I know I will be doing that for quite some time but I really feel I have no choice now!! I have made the ultimate promise and that was to myselfto get sober and stay sober! My father dyin, missing quit dates when I turned 40 amongst many other quit dates, countless promises to my wife, in the end I had to just bring myself to quit no matter what. I have to say that I did this myself no councel, little support from family, just sheer inner will. I guess that is just the way I had to do it and now I am ready to reach out for support to stay sober for the long run. It will be here on MWO, council, and maybe AA (which I have never been that keen on). I cannot think about the future at this point it is all still too raw and to be honest I am still greiveing over my father's death however for the first time I can remember I have some hope and for now that is all I can ask for!!

Hi Cheech :goodjob:

How brilliant to get the first 30 days AF under your belt it?s a huge achievement and takes a lot of determination and sheer willpower so well done. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad, life sucks at times and throws us curve balls but you know what ? its easier to cope without booze making things worse. I still take it ODAT but it is getting easier and I feel so much better without alcohol in my life. I had really bad cravings yesterday afternoon and it would have been so easy to give in but today I am so grateful that I didn?t cave.

Some of us are on the Santas Sober Sleigh thread to get through December why not join us if you think it will help. Good luck.

Question, any of you who have been af for a while, say 30 days or so, do remember how long it took for the headaches to go away!!?? Not sure if mine are due to a sinus infection, which I am prone 2 or if it is withdrawl perhaps little of both but boy does it suck tks in advance!!

[Choochie]

here I go again

Cheech I didn't have headaches so can't help here. But, I'm sure someone will be along soon who can answer this. I do remember quite a few people talk about their headaches, though. Seems like it was a few weeks before they went away.
