I really need to stop drinking. I get sick when i dont drink and drinking is the only thing that makes me feel better. I know that i need to detox. Can anyone give me any advice on how to get through the withdrawals? I have a seizure disorder so i am worried about that but i am on medication. Im just curious if anyone knows of anything else that can help. Anyone who has been through this before please let me know how you got through it! I really appreciate any help and support! Thank you all!

What helped me was staying around people in recovery, sippin water non-stop, staying busy and not tryna white knuckle it. Connection is everything because we learn from each-other. Proud of you for saying it out loud. Keep posting. We got you.
Thank you! I really appreciate it! I have a lot of social anxiety and am very uncomfortable coming to groups at this point but I’m hoping chatting with people will help open that door.
The only thing I really like drink besides the booze is water 
so I think I’ll be good on that. I’m trying to get back into old hobbies and find some new ones but it’s been difficult. I think being able to talk to people on here will help a lot so thank you again for your response and words of encouragement!!
Medical detox is the safest way. If you can't do that, I'd get connected to a recovery group, be honest with your physician and have a sober person that you trust help you while you're detoxing. Chocolate and Pepsi saved my life for the first 90 days of recovery.
Are you connected with a recovery group?
