I drink 24oz x 4 of coors light daily.
I’m worried about having a seizure if I stop. I exercise to increase endorphins transmission to help prevent dts.. but my mood is always down and I’ve got headaches
Hey, Franklin. Please consult with your doctor. S/he should be able to help.
And how is that gotta help him?
Everyone's different and consulting a professional is your only safe bet. I am 48hrs sober from a pint of vodka daily to just start the day and other than the occasional panic attack, shakes, light headedness, stomach pains. I just hit a meeting and feel great after, stopped at the grocery store and got some fresh fruit and coconut water and feel ready to get back on the wagon.
No easy answers, just trying to make sense of it all!! Found a IOP that meant the world to me, and restarting it on Monday. It’s about really knowing you want for YOU!!
I’m about to start hitting meetings too. I can’t spend a week in a hospital due to school. Exercise helped stave off the effects of withdrawal whenever I try not to drink, but there’s always this emotional void inside of me reminding me of the trauma I’ve been through
I ended up having very strong differences with the people at the iop I used to go to. I’m from a relatively dangerous area which led to various assumptions about me from them.
