Ness…detox socks…I have almost a week but one day at a time brother. My dt’s were awful. I went through the same shit man. Shaking , sweats, vomiting food or bile In the middle of the night. Couldn’t wait for the beer store to open. I went from beer to MXD Long Island Tea 12% alcohol. I was drinking 4-8 a day. But I’m a speed drinker ya know. I was drinking like 2-3 in an hour. Got to where I was there at 7am. Just to get level for the day and stop shaking. I made the decision to quit AGAIN last Sunday when I had drank 6 MXD IN 2 HRS. pulled in my driveway and my foot slipped off the brakes and hit the gas then hit my garage! Thank God thats all I hit. Ive been drinking and drugging since I was 15-16 yrs old …im 50 almost 51 and finally decided to stop allowing alcohol to dictate and rule my life.
Stay strong and hang in there…

Detox Sucks…not socks…lol
The online meetings have helped me tremendously. My home group is hit or miss with f2f meetings. I found / told of and app called In the Rooms. Online mtgs thru out the day as well as mtgs for other habits or hangup or mental illnesses. I hope this helps Ness.
In 34 yes. I’ve been in rehab, jail, in/outpatient therapy. All thats left is to recover or DIE or wind back up jail. 2 dwi, felony possession, lots of fines and many yrs on paper. Loss of family members (tired of the lies and empty promises ; excuses…you name it) …again…its really hard someday are better than others…but as long as I don’t pick up that 1st drink…I’m good!
STAY STRONG!

I owe an apology Ness. Im a real newbie here and failed to look at or read your profile. I apologize for referring to you as a male. My glass on my phone is cracked pretty bad. Please accept my apology and let’s help keep one another clean and sober.

Aw thank you I appreciate it! I’m actually feeling good today. The anxiety is still pretty bad but the physical symptoms are gone I think. I’m starting to crave lots of sugar which is hard to ball due to my physical illness

Glad you doing good today. I really can’t imagine what you’re going through. It sounds awful. I’m sure your getting tons of advice. Like they say “take want you want leave the rest.”
Here goes. I’m really finding meditation helpful. It can be overwhelming to do or even think about especially during a crisis when you probably could use it most. When I’m really troubled and can’t or won’t meditate.
I sometimes lie here on my back and deep breathe. With my eyes closed.
On a big long inhale I think or say CALM
On the big long exhale I think or say PEACEFUL
On the next big long inhale I think or say Tranquil
On the next big long exhale I think or say RELAX
Repeat as often as you’re willing.
Hope to see you around later. It’s good night for me.
