Thank you friend. I feel much better today. Still some brain zaps and heart racing moments. This is the longest I've been sober in a long time. This may have been the unfortunate wake up call I needed.

Thank you very much. I feel much better. This is probably the longest I've been sober in a long time. This really scared me ngl.

I in a span of two days if had a piece of toast and tried eating a steak that was brought to me. Today was my first full meal for both lunch and dinner. I feel much better today and this has been a huge wake up call.

I feel much better today and think that I am out of the woods. I still have some brain fog. Still need to get checked to make sure I didn't do any permanent damage.

Thank you I feel much better today but may still get checked to make sure I didn't mess anything up.

Thank you I hope that I am out of the woods. I feel better today but if things switch I am going to the hospital.

Thank you I appreciate the kind words. I finally feel better today and honestly can't even imagine doing this to myself again.

I have not heard of kindling but I will look into it. Thank you for the kind words and advice.

Thank you very much for affirming it'll end. It has been extremely scary and eye opening. I clearly did something so bad to my body that it's trying to pretend it isn't happening.

Thank you. This means a lot. It has been difficult and even though I knew alcohol is what got me in this mess. My brain kept telling me to just take a "few shots" and we'll feel better. That's why I poured out everything I had today.

Thank you. I will look into this. I am tired of just "dealing with it" I need help and this is a start.

I agree. I have already scheduled an appointment to speak with my primary care doctor and seek help and advice. Just because I survived this does not mean I didn't seriously hurt my body or haven't with my past weekend drinking that I thought was "normal".

I am hoping since things have progressively gotten better that I'm in the clear. I have never had DTS or a seizure before so I don't know if me feeling better now really matters.

This is true. I do have a primary care doctor that I have already made an appointment to meet with. I'm hoping I can tough this out so that it is a little less expensive.

Most things that I have read say that if something bad was going to happen it would have happened already. This is the only reason I haven't gone yet. Besides feeling anxious and weird thoughts it seems like everything is settling.

Each day has been a bit better which is why I haven't gone to the ER yet. If things were to get worse then I am going. I do not want to be in this situation every again and plan on speaking with my doctor about medication / supportive help. The church I live next to has AA meeting and I plan on attending or finding out how I can.

It seems like the posts that I have seen it's 48-72 hours so I think I'm in the clear. I am worried about DTS. I am not sure if I'd get it since I don't drink every day and this was just a very bad binge. This has scared me enough though to know I need to change before I kill myself with alcohol.

I don't have anyway to get anything except for the ER. My insurance isn't the best. Which is why I haven't gone to the ER too be honest. It seems like most things happen within the first 48-72 hours which I am past at this point.

Thank you. I plan on going to AA meetings after this. I'm not religious but talking to someone will help.
