I’m on day 2. Around 2:45pm today the withdrawal symptoms really knocked me out. I do NOT want to turn back. I don’t even want a drink, shockingly. I want to make it through feeling like this. I started feeling the anxiety, sweating, shaking, emotional feelings. I’m pretty calm now. I’m hoping these symptoms will subside sooner rather than later. Please send positive vibes my way because I’m struggling so bad.

Positive vibes sent! When I first started my sobriety, I felt mild symptoms of what you’ve described. When I felt that way I would find positive distractions such as hiking, working out, finding a show on Netflix or listening to music(mellow like EDM with minimal words) or wellness podcasts. All helped tremendously in steering me away from the negative vibes. Stay strong, if you want it bad enough you’ll push through this😊

Push through. I know it’s easier said than done but it’s so much better on the other side. Positive thoughts with you. Reach out to anyone if you need an ear a hand or anything. Stay the course

If it is alcohol only that you are detoxing from, congratulations you’re more than halfway through the hardest part. It f-ing sucks!!! But it is so worth it.
When I’m tempted to drink I remember how I felt on day 2 and then I grab a sparkling water and go about my day.
Remember, alcohol causes anxiety. The relief it provides is only a few minutes. Then we need another drink. That’s the horrible cycle of craving. Don’t give up. But do seek medical help if it is too much. It can be dangerous.

After five days you have hit the hump and everyday moving forward will be better. Things will begin looking more positive and the guilt will begin to disappear. If you think about picking up a drink...which you will...don’t kid yourself into believing that you can just have one or two. If you do that you will find yourself going through the shakes and anxiety once again.
