    The shakes

    Rosalind;250118 wrote: Pink,

    The first time I detoxed at home my husband doled out so much a day to me, he didn't want to play this time so I detoxed myself. I would get on my bicyle everyday and buy just one half a pint of whiskey as my daily ration to taper down on. Had I bought two half pints a day I would have drunk them both, I now this because I tried that one day and guess what- yes I drank them both. It can be hard to detox yourself when drinking too much I know. Then I just started buying a 28 once bottle of beer to drink, then abs for 39 days. You might want to try just skipping trying to taper down with the whiskey and go straight to trying to taper down with beer, that might be easier. If you can't detox yourself, you will have to go to a detox center so that they can detox you- I mean if you want to live that is.

    Now when I drink I keep it below the level to which quitting would cause me to have to go through withdrawal again. Why drink at all?- well, because drinking occasionally atleast keeps me from obsessing over NOT drinking. I know that is a little nuts, but the best plan I can come up with for now. I just can't see myself giving it up forever.
    Thanks for your note.

    Most unfortunately, I find the taste of beer to be too closely similar to the taste of barf. I need to get my buns to detox, as much as I hate the idea. I just wish they wouldn't make such a huge deal of my wanting to be released in five days or so versus 14 or 21 or more. I really think they are more interested in snagging the insurance funds rather than being interested in my well-being.

      I have never been to detox so I don't know how it is. My husband was threatening to get me thrown into detox against my will so I detoxed myself by tapering down over about a weeks time or week and a half, my motivation being I didn't want to get thrown into detox against my will.

      But everyone is different, if you need to go to detox then go ahead that might be the best idea for you. Detoxing at home might be better , but only if you can do it.

      If you have medicare why not go and get your wrist and rib fixed first? (Here in my state someone has to be 61 to get medicaid.)

      Can you just call a cab, if you can't drive?

        Pink,

        How about wine instead of beer? It may be easier to taper down using wine instead of whiskey?

          detox

          Pink,

          Five days is ample for alcohol withdrawal. After that you don't get anymore sober. The hardest part is next, and that's what the starlets pay for. 28 days of raw self footage.

            I agree with Long Road, 5 days is sufficent time to detox. I am sorry pink that they do not give that option to you.

                It takes me 10 days to feel strong and get past the digestive upsets, post drink bloating and a few cravings. Don't know what anyone else feels but I feel rough for the first 3, starting to get better by day 5 and that's when I want to drink. I know not everyone can afford the time or $$$ but the longer you are in a 'safe' place, perhaps away from your drinking friend then the better.

                Then again I relapsed.

                I do know you have to ditch the drink buddy. I acquired one in September last year. He was like a limpet and took me two months to shake him loose. Everytime I tried to go AF he was on the phone offering to come round to talk things through, with a few cans. He said it was because he "cared".........

                        Yes we are alive but if some of us continue down this road we won't be for long.

                        As for hope...any AF day you have is hope. Everyday you wake up feeling pretty damn good is hope.

                        Most of us falter..many of us fail at times. But we wouldn't be here if there was no hope.
