Benjamin Christopher If there is anyway you can go to a detox they could help you for about 3 days, they could get you through the most dangerous part if that is how your body reacts. Once through the detox you could start going to meetings. I didn’t go that route so I don’t know how to help you with that, I just went to meetings. I didn’t have a lot of withdrawals, definitely no DTs. Good Luck and hop you can find you way to recovery #ofaat

Welcome back, just remember we all make mistakes. Just learn from it.

Today is my day 1 for the fifth time. Longest I've ever went sober was a little over 3 months last year but relapsed with alcohol and blow. It is very challenging to do it all by yourself. I want to get well, not only for myself but I want to do it for my parents while they're still here. I feel like its now or never with recovery. Thank you for sharing your story with us. God bless

Day 10 no alcohol day 11 no hard drugs. Been smoking pot everyday since I was 14 I'm surely addicted to it but I don't even care I just wanna ditch the coke the alcohol and all the other dumb shit I've tried when I'm drunk. Alcohol has lead to every bad decision I've ever made in my life. Ive been to work once in the last 2 weeks I'm lucky to still have my job but depression is hitting me hard since I'm trying to be sober. I can't get out of this funk. I have a great gf and a 2 year old daughter but I can't get seem to get it altogether at once.

Day 1 is the easy part. It's the 4 weeks in that you start to convince yourself thst your not an addict... rinse and repeat

Thanks man. It's day one for me. I owe a bunch of coke money and the alcohol is an easy temptation.

This is my first day too. Hopefully it’s day one and not going back

You should never do that on your own, tell your doctor what’s going on to get a medical detox.

Day one for me. I relapsed like 3 times. But today I have to be sober. Hows your one year?

The first time I decided to quit I was accustomed to some withdrawals to some extent, shakes and a bit of anxiety while at work but I was never sober enough to get beyond that. One day a friend begged me to do a few days sober and about 20 hours into being sober I started hallucinating. It was terrifying and yet I still would not realise I was withdrawling until much later. The insomnia and the nerves firing off, the shaking and hallucinations should be enough to never want to do a day one again but that seems to always be an afterthought.

This sucks and its a fact that even the symptoms and pains that a body goes through is in a lot of ways subject to experiences that that person has had in the past. The body will withdrawal!!! The mental twist will last for months to years! Those who stick to it and a program that works for them even if that means joining AA just for a few months of just today. Ive pretty much done it all starting at 17 yrs old in my first meeting I heard under the breath of the group chair that he had split more booze that id possibly drank. I agreed under my breath because I wasnt a f-in looser. I remember feeling mad at him and anyone who knows resentment is not good even with strangers I seem to keep a log of who wronged me that day. lol Im 44 and ready to give this thing a try again. The worst ive experienced in my time is missing 7 days of methadone with a dose of 100 daily down from 160 a few months prier. Anyone who knows that knows heand I was lucky to sort that out and get back on half as i continue to taper off. My God I feel so bad for people that end up coming off that shit in jail. Yikes!!!
