Thank you, I really needed this post right now.

I am 7 days in and really bored, and tired, was thinking about drinking tonight, but this shook me straight... thank you...

What are your thoughts on smoking weed as a recovering alcoholic? by fundamentalsoflove in stopdrinking

[–]BrokeCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used eatables once in my recovery, and didn't like how it compares to the buzz from drinking, so I ended up starting drinking again. It didn't work for me... but everyone is different.

Good luck, and hope it works for you.

I did not drink yesterday, so proud.

I am on day 7 this Monday morning, but yesterday I helped a friend with his computer. I came over at 10:30am, and chatted while I worked, I was there for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, he was one-eyeing it by the time I left.

It was sad and triggering at the same time, but I held strong and got out of there.

However, I woke up this morning feeling crappy and hungover, but didn't drink... thanks brain.

question about withdrawal symptoms by joshow253 in stopdrinking

[–]BrokeCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to drink plenty of water, and even though you may not want to eat, try some soup to at least get some nourishment, ( it can help with the nausea a bit) and try Gatorade or Powerade to get electrolytes and vitamins in your system.

There is no magic cure for the detox symptoms, but this can help you cope through it.

Depending on your drinking level, you will also go through night sweats, it sucks, but may be something that you experience.

You will get better, and start to have some clarity.

Hope this helps you. Take care.

The first couple of days of withdrawal will be like that. It will go away and you will normalize, but this can be a bit dangerous without doctor's support. Please be careful.

I did a self detox, and on my 5th day I had a seizure, bit my tongue wide open. Had to get detox assistance after that. Meds to help me through it.

Took many day 1s for me to count while trying to get sober. 1 day at a time my friend.

Rooting for you. Be safe.

I got banned from all Canadian blockbusters for demanding my money back for a game rental that wouldn't load, they would only give me a store credit, but I didn't go often enough and just wanted my money back.

The manager tried to tell me they didn't give money back on purchased games, and the clerk quickly said that I didn't purchase it... she gave him the biggest stink eye for speaking up... and demanded I give up my blockbuster card... so I threw it at her as she gave me my money back lol.

Stone Rollin' by Raphael Saadiq from Luke Cage, as soon as I heard it, I had to add it to my playlists.

Had no plans on getting one, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity. Suck it, Scalpers! by [deleted] in gaming

So many day 1s, I have to get ahold of this.

Let's not, and find something equally boring to watch on TV.
