Welcome, cryingout!!! Please keep coming back; it does and will get better. Remember you only have to do it one day at a time, or one hour at a time, or one minute at a time. Have you tried 12 step meetings?

[cryingout]

Thanks everyone. I have been on a collision course for the past eight months and I am ready to get off this crazy ride. Using is killing me and everyone around me. I need help!!! I have decided not to use today yet today feels like forever. Anyone ever been there? I am open to ALL suggestions.

Welcome cryingout--Glad you are here!

When I first started trying to stay sober, 24 hours was waaaaay to long for me to even think about. I had to break it down into smaller amounts of time--5 minutes at a time, then 10 minutes, then 30 minutes and so on>until I finally did make it 24 hours.

As babies--we each had to learn how to crawl, then walk, then run--that it kind of how I started with my sobriety. I hope you will stick around and keep posting! Good luck and God bless! :D

Paaf,
I went through the same thing when I came back to the program. I spent a pretty miserable 3 day weekend locked up in my apartment. My girlfriend at the time would call every few hours to check on me. I found juice drinks to be a helpful for me(probably the sugar) and I was able to begin eating a little on the third day. On the fourth day I got out to a meeting, two weeks later got a sponsor, and have worked the program one day at a time for quite a few 24 hrs now. Please know that it does get better and you are not alone. You are in my prayers.
Regards,
DaveH

Hi paaf, Welcome. :17: Do you have someone who is checking on you to make sure you are ok? Contact your doctor if you are not feeling well. If you are not allergic to honey - my sponsor had me take a tablespoon or 2 of honey to help me. Honey also helps clean the body of toxins. Cranberry juice is good also. If you can eat sweets, it was suggested that I keep some hard candy or sweets on hand also. Once we stop drinking the body misses the sugar that was in the alcohol so we replace that with eating something sweet. Again this is if it is ok for you to eat sweets. Be good to yourself these next few days. Easy does it. Good news is you don't have to do this again. Keep coming and sharing with us. We are here for you. :42:
