Hey girl. I like to isolate ppl too. It helps to do that if they're not supportive. But don't disappear from sober buddies who understand mental struggle. Here for you. Watering the grass helps me. I hope you can get outside and soak up some vitamin D!

Listen I thought the same thing and on top of that I was pregnant but tbh I feel better than ever and the detox went even as bad as I expected...I think he built it up so much in my head and I was so scared of being sick that by the time it actually did a habit it really wasn't as bad as I thought and it's so worth it you're so worth it don't think like that like I don't know your situation and everybody's is different but at the end of the day I know regardless of whatever your situation is it will be better with you being clean that's 100% guarantee and you will be better with you being clean if you need anybody to talk to feel free to reach out to me I don't mind I like listening to people honestly it makes it a little better on myself that makes any sense but yes like I said you are worth it and you will feel so much better when you're done not just in a way of not being sick or but in a way of everything emotionally physically mentally every everything will feel better

Get on suboxin and it helps you with withdrawal.Immediately about 25 minutes cravings away. You don't have to go withdraw, there's options.

I'm so glad you reached out. You are not alone. It is a process and it IS worth it.
Remember that drinking hurts too but this is a pain that will leave - just takes a little time. Sending love and prayers.

You're doing the right thing, reach out whenever you need to, talk about it, ask for help, keep busy as much as possible, one minute at a time, and each time will get easier!! Don't give up, you are worth it!!!

It’s just a day..today is now. Have you eaten? It’s a trigger because I drank on an empty stomach. So I make sure I eat something. I hopped on this site awhile ago. You can do meeting online. You can cover your camera. I need face to face. Because I have to shower and dress and go. Otherwise I’d stay in jammies. I act like I’m going to work. A meeting is work. There’s before the meeting, in the meeting, and after the meetings. Holding little convos . I have 2 yrs and 10 mos. I wasn’t sure it was gonna work. But the pressure built up after I still drank my 1st 5 mos. Then I thought a day at a time, I have got to get that 30 day chip. It got better after that. It’s working. My life would fall apart if I drank. I’ve had 5 DUI’s. Yeah I think I’m a good driver when I drink. Only an idiot would keep doing this. On that point, I’m an idiot..so the first two steps were very very helpful. Because I would undoubtedly drive again. Only one day matters. This one.
I can hear how much this hurts right now. 
But feelings during withdrawal are intense and not permanent. Please don’t isolate completely… connection is what gets us through this part.
You are not too far gone. Stay with us. One step at a time.

Please don't say that. I just lost a friend from AA she died from drinking this past week 
left behind a beautiful 18 year old daughter. You have so much to offer. One day at a time
You're doing the right thing by discussing your situation with somebody. You already know that it is a moment by moment situation, you're past the day-by-day situation it's a moment by moment. So just stay busy find something to do. I'm sure you're aware of what to expect here but hang in there man it's it's a daily battle you know it. I'm over 8 years sober come October 31 this year I'll be 9 years but I'm only bringing it up cuz I don't keep counting anymore just bringing up to give you an example it's tough but we can do it hang in there Go to AA meeting if you can.
