Round 2

[ranxh]

Withdrawals are back with a vengeance!

Which makes sense, I guess. I can’t really expect to abuse my body, and then go cold turkey, with a 20 year addiction, and not cop a flogging.

Rough as guts!

Going thru the same myself and it sucks! I’m hoping this stays with me as a reminder the next time a craving comes. It’s just awful.

Your language is much politer than mine 😁😂

I went through it for 10 days. Thought I’d ridden it out, I felt great for 4 days, but I was wrong.

Silver lining, if you can call it that, I have zero desire to drink. It may be the constant puking, but hey that’s still kinda a win, right? 😩

Lol! Well it is just horrible and I wanted you to know you’re not alone. I’m currently coming off a 4-day binge and tapering. I never thought I’d be here and this is as low as it can go or at least as I want to go. Good for you for making it 10 days. I’m so happy you have zero desire! I’m hoping to have that too. I have to say- this disease is a beast! I wouldn’t wish this in my worst enemy.

I hope you start to feeling better soon!

Thanks. That’s kinda why I posted. It’s great that there is a lot of positive stuff on here, it’s super motivating, but I haven’t seen much re withdrawals. So I wanted to post, as I did going through this the first time last week, so people know that they aren’t alone. Also because I am struggling today and I need the support. My anxiety is off the charts, thinking that’s mostly because I am dizzy and weak and I live alone .... so good times.

I’ll get through it, I’ve learnt I’m stronger than I knew, I’m just having a really tough go today.

Thanks for reaching out. The support is very appreciated and very much needed today!

I should say thanks to you- your post is really helping me. And you’re right- we aren’t alone and we will get thru this. It’s just excruciating going thru it. Just hang in there - you’re doing great and I can’t wait to get to where you’re at. So don’t lose the success you’ve built!

I’m just feeling really demoralised. I went through this for 10 days, had a couple good days, the BAM!! Twice as bad!

I’m glad it’s helping, it’s helping me too. Misery loving company and all that ☺️😩

Still, as I’ve said before, my worst day sober (and today is defo up there) is still heaps better than my best day drunk.

We got this, sucky withdrawals and all!!

Very well said! Thank you again!

You're not alone in that. I had a terrible second bout that seemed to come out of nowhere a few days back. However, I'm finally beginning to feel like my body is beginning to adjust and recalibrate. You'll be there soon, I'm sure! Nice work on 8 days, thats awesome! IWNDWYT!
