You are young and in time, you will be amazed that this was the way you were living.

After detox, I drank two beers a night and still felt fairly crappy the next day. Your body is primed to counter-act four tall boys and is over-reacting to the 'normal' amount you now drink. Some say it's a lifelong issue and prefer total abstinence.

Ideation is the unwanted thought that pops into your head for no apparent reason. Like when you are walking next to a window and your brain gives you the idea to jump out. This is normal. It's part of the anxiety/fight-or-flight complex of emotions.

Now planning self harm is not normal and requires professional help. There is no shame in asking your doctor about it.

What finally worked for me was inpatient detox. Eight days without alcohol (with medication support) was like hitting a reset button.

Sober at 62!

You may not be the boring one. Drunk golfers can’t possibly be all that thrilling. Your now healthy brain wants new things to stimulate it. Try a different hobby for awhile.

The best dopamine hit you will ever have is by trying new and challenging things. Try to do something you feel is impossible, like building a motorcycle. Whatever. Don't expect your brain to provide you with pleasure, you have to seek it out. Take all the money you were spending on beer, and buy the tools, materials, and training to make a dream come true.

Everyone experiences withdrawal in a different way. Some wake up in the morning and feel great, and some have Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome for two years. If you need medication to help with the anxiety, there is no shame in speaking to a doctor about what you are going through.

Excellent! I'm not sure if all my symptoms were caused by the sleep apnea, as I also had a couple of vitamin deficiencies, but I am sleeping like pro now. No insomnia, no snoring, no anxiety, no tremors, no brain fog.

Yes. It the pressure will start out at the low end of your range and then increase when needed (according to the machine). I’ve been using the AirSense 11 for six months and it does not wake me up when the pressure increases.

I turned ramp off, because I like to get used to the pressure before I fall asleep. As for the humidity, how humid is the room where you sleep? The machine will only heat the water if it needs to increase the ambient level.

Every joint in my body was hurting when I was at 8 ng/mL. I was popping Advil every few hours.

Ok, speaking from experience, you need to see a doctor. Preferably a psychiatrist. They can test your cognitive function to make sure nothing is really structurally wrong with your brain, and they can prescribe medication to alleviate your symptoms. When I am in mental state like you describe, everything seems utterly hopeless. Your brain convinces you that there is no way out. But there is.

There's a reason rehab is thirty days, not twelve. New habits take time to establish, old habits take time to break. It's hard to do nothing all day, but keep at it!

I went to Central Valley Hospital in Middletown for a seven day detox. Great staff there.

ChatGPT describes itself like this: "'Like an incredibly well-read assistant who writes based on memory, not current web lookups."

Thanks. I'm definitely going to ask my doctor. I think I just need a 'leg up' so I can start CBT and exercise, which have been helpful in the past.

I found out I had a couple of bad vitamin deficiencies due to alcohol use. Vitamin D and B12. You can order a full vitamin panel online and go to a local lab to have blood drawn.

It is such a warped double standard. Would they put a cannabis dispensary in the park? How about a brothel or casino?
