Last straw! Today is the day!

I have been struggling bad the last few weeks to get back on track. Drinking is a coping skill i hate but i always go back to it. I’ve lost my wife, job and best friend in the last 6 months due to this poison and Im tired.

Doctor gave me meds for the shakes and cravings and im locking mysef in my house for the next 2 days. Wish me luck!!

Do you go to 12 step meetings? And if not are you willing to ? You want something different , you have to do something different. I can help :blush: . If you want it . I have a working knowledge of the 12 steps in AA/NA & willing to sponsor. Hit me up , if you want to give it a shot :large_blue_diamond:/:small_red_triangle::blush:

Do you have a plan? A list to do, meditation, music, protein and crunchy snacks? Stick with it!

Dang it folks!!! I went 1 day and the withdraws got too rough. I’m saving my meds until I can get a few days off and have someone watch over me.

Good luck I’m sorry to hear but can so relate I’m now almost 5 months clean!!!

Awwwwe sorry to hear this but never stop trying !!

You're right to share the ups and downs alike. We're here for you. Keep hope alive.

Hey I would highly recommend you go to an Inpatient Detox at a hospital I mean honestly you don't sound like you're doing the greatest with it and it impatient detox will give you the medication and therapy you need to get through this. I've been through it many times myself and that's the way it really works well. staying at home is not going to do it trying to do it by yourself you need to remove yourself from your usual surroundings that cause you to drink and go somewhere that's clean quiet and has the proper care
