My daily update on this detox; This morning was really tough. Had a terrible nights sleep. I ended coming around and made my meeting. Anxiety was manageable today once i got going. All i need I s a good nights sleep and i think i will be back full throttle. Tomorrow will be one week. What a battle. It never gets easier. Im very excited

Keep it up mate!
I hope you regain āfull throttleā next week but if you do, watch yourself. Is always the most dangerous point for me (āI feel fine, I can have a drinkā)

Checking in with you. How are you doing? Are you getting your better nights of sleep now?
Good evening. I enjoy your post because itās what Iām going through right now too. Currently within day 1. Skipped work today because I was having a panic attack. Got the shakes and stomach cramps. I was driving sober today and almost fainted. Felt terrible started sweating and then my extremities felt heavy and tight. I was so grateful to make it home.
Stress is similar to what you were saying depressed and nothing makes me happy. Instead of dealing with life I turned to drinking to help me cope with the stress. But never had a feeling like when I almost fainted today. Have to change so I giving it up before itās too late. I only hope it isnāt already too late.
My friend, have you considered asking your doctor for a prescription for antabuse?
Never too late to start trying!! There have been days where I literally didnāt think I could possibly make it through that very day. And yet here I was exactly today greatly enjoying life and its possibilities. Easy to say harder to do yet some days no effort at all. Reach out. Weāre here for you.

I think that finding a safe space where you can truly express how you feel without being judged for it is one of the most important starting points in this shit. Iām currently still using and Iām about to go into rehab, and I also feel super lost but my treatment team are doing their best to guide me in the right direction. Substances can be a comfort zone, it is at least for me, so ditching substance abuse is hard because weāre leaving our comfort zone, albeit an unhealthy oneā¦ Itās really great that you wrote here I think. Feeling less alone can really help. Best wishes.
