Lost my partner a few weeks ago... I watched her abuse sleeping pills and alcohol and she died from her addictions .
I can't stop drinking since the day she died . I have tried but the sweats , palpitations, anxiety... How long does this last?

The sweets are awful.
I’m sorry about your partner. I had a similar experience. Do yourself a favor and go to detox to get the help you need.
I'm in the UK... It's not that easy here. I was in Canada for 10 years and came back to the UK during lockdowns 4 years ago. I have been tapering but today I just stopped . I'm not registered with a GP and it's so hard to get a doctor here now. I just want someone advice on the best ways they found to deal with the sweats... The anxiety... Withdrawal in general? I'm also sorry to hear you had a similar experience losing a partner ... But thanks for your reply
Try to schedule with a doctor. But like eating right, drinking water, meditating, exercising, sleeping
Yeah I know I have to adjust all that ... I'm trying . I'll continue to try ... That's all we can do
Thanks for your reply
Sorry to hear about your partner David. If scheduling with a doctor is hard, try connecting with a community of sober people near you. The sweats are a challenge to get through, but with supportive people near/with you they can increase the encouragement I feel. As far as anxiety, everyone’s a bit different and for me getting through step 9 drastically eased my anxiety. I still have some deep down, but not near as much. It’s a challenge but all worth the struggle to rise above your addiction and continue to grow as an individual.
David, I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my brother in 1992 he was murdered from his addiction. So I feel your pain. I also deal with depression and anxiety. But I did not get clean and sober until February 21 2001.
Have you gone to detox?
Thankyou
