These alcohol withdrawals get scarier with time .. and age ..

I used to be obsessed with 9/11 growing up .. now when I close my eyes .. airplanes crash into my apartment .. monsters crawl through my windows .. and as cognitive as I am and tell myself these things aren’t real .. going through withdrawals and detoxing.. these things are as real as they come .. 🎶stand by me! 🎶

One quote that has truly helped me when I am overthinking, w/racing thoughts or anxiety, is 'Nothing is true.' -Byron Katie. It instantly melts away my magnified mind. I am sorry you are going through that.. I am sure it is frustrating, frightening, and difficult. Know those thoughts and ideas are NOT truth.
It is the mind trying to scare itself. Becoming sober is an Amazing triumph, so just take it day by day and You got this 🌸🍀🪻

@MethDozer You’re so right about that. He should stay in his lane getting his little hard on about how awful Trump is.

How many days did you drink for? With any luck you weren't back on it long enough to get the DT's.

You should never put yourself into withdrawal without medical help unless you have cut down your drinking very gradually it's helluva dangerous.

If you don't already have some high dose thiamine please get some, it helps.

Have you been to a program? Have you sought counseling?

@CheezeburgerBrown One day at a time I would suggest starting a journal and write about your experiences

Ok, but what the hell is Goofy?

@Jessmari when and where did I say goofy ??

@CheezeburgerBrown You didn't, but for a moment you weren't thinking about this. I saw you make several refrences to the movie today and thought you'd get a laugh.

Well since u mentioned that movie you might get distracted by the original Stephen King book. Its called The Body.

Getting absorbed might help the cravings.

I do try. ;=)

I am sorry you’re going through this 🩷. I know you work hard at it, I just wish something could come easier for you.

Hey, buddy. Far be it from me to tell anybody how to live their life, but I don't think that alcohol is good for you.

CheezeburgerBrown · 36-40, M

@LordShadowfire it’s not .. but it’s my attempt to solve a problem

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@CheezeburgerBrown I would say that you should look for an alternative solution.
