Withdrawal

sorry key board sucks

Thank you. I need the support. I'm just trying to get through the day and it's so hard.

Thank you so much for asking but no he would not. He felt I a have enough in my system. The clinic doctor will hopefully tell me tomorrow if I need more or not. Trying to pace myself with the meds. I haven't been able to really sleep for the last two nights. Making me really tired. I didn't get to see him in person only through email and I think he just wants me to go to the clinic now. Thank you for checking up on me I really appreciate it. Still just the rest of this day I'm gonna be 3 days sober

Hiya 3 days hey! Brilliant well done. I can assure you the worst is over, although you may not think so.

You've achieved 3  sober days without any support from your gp . I have to say that I was appalled over you're detox. Having said that, nothing surprises me now. You were obviously suffering from withdrawal, yet you had no checks, no clear advice. To leave you to cope with this on your own is not right in my opinion.

just hang on in there, no matter how difficult it is. Paper Fairy is right, we are all rooting for you.

keep posting and someone on this forum will always reply.  I was advised to keep drinking plenty of fluids. Lemonade is supposed to be good, but  I just kept to chilled water to start with. Another thing I found helpful was a smoothie maker. Just blitz some bananas, strawberries, raspberries any kind of fresh fruit. By doing that you are getting some goodness. After about 7 days I went on to soup and vitamin B tablets and then normal healthy food. Two weeks after craving for a drink and determined to get one anyway I could, I just gave in, stopped asking for drink, stopped leaving the house because I couldnt trust myself, handed all my debit/credit cards and any money I had over to my husband, and eventually asked him to get rid of any alcohol in the house. He found bottles everywhere, some half empty, some full, some empty. These were my emergency back ups. I asked him to tip them all down the sink. The best thing he did for me was to say "no, I'm not doing it you can do it" was so frightened that my lifelines had gone, but in a strange way, I knew that this was a new start however hard.

 

Good for you. I haven't had the cravings yet but am waiting for them. Thank you all.

You wouldn't believe how much I appreciate the support

Don't forget most of us have been where you are at some time or other. I used to hate it when 'friends' would say, just have a soft drink, it's not that hard. In my opinion the best help and advice you can get is from people who've been where you are now, know what you're going through, and have come out the other end a much better and sober person
