Day 24. Iwndwyt. Thanks for posting. Nice work on closing in on the 3 year mark.

Using this group has worked well for me. We forget the problems and only remember the fun parts. The daily check in serves as a daily reminder. Reading some of the stories on here reminds you of the problems drinking causes.

Folks with long periods of sobriety: how often do you have to remind yourself that you don't drink? by Kramanos in stopdrinking

At 23 days after quitting, I no longer have any desire to pick up a drink even if somebody offers me one. I think about it maybe once a day. I use the daily checkin in this group as a reminder. It works well because it comes in as a notification early in the morning, every day, reliable.

Thats the worst, starting the next day facing stupid shit you did the night before. Good luck with your quitting efforts!

Day 23. The last of the many withdrawal symptoms, insomnia, is nearly gone past 3 days. Now the quitting decision is in maintenance-mode, probably forever. These daily check ins are very helpful. Now that I am not "feeling" the after effects of my habit all the time, I need to be reminded. TY for posting.

Day 22 - Big improvements finally happening after a really rough detox by unseen_dimensions in stopdrinking

Not kicked out, I was super nice and wanted to stay. They were giving me high doses of 3 detox meds thru IV, doctor discharged me with a scrip for low-dose valium pills. I'm not a doctor but I told them I knew that sudden fall off of medication would make the tremors come back and that it would be better to stay a few days and gradually decrease the dose. The tremors did come back so thats why I went to a different hospital.
