The withdrawal certainly isn’t getting any better, but I think I’m really gonna be able to do it this time. I’ve been up since about 4 or 5, I just couldn’t sleep very long at all. And I’m still pretty fuckin sick otherwise from withdrawal. But I went to 2 groups yesterday, and am about to attend another one this morning. My goal is to go to at least one everyday this week. I’m so tired of being stuck in a cycle of withdrawal, where one hard night of binging puts me back to being physically dependent almost immediately because of my past Phenibut addiction. I know I’ve posted here a million times about relapsing, but I really think this is gonna be the time that sticks and that excitement is keeping me going.
It’s worthwhile. If you have a hard time with it, feel free to post here or PM. I made this comm for drug shitposting and people who want a healthy relationship with them. In my case, with alcohol, my best relationship with it seems to be away from it.
If you’ve been drinking daily for a while though, get medical help when you quit. If you can put down the bottle and not feel like shit, you’re probably cool, but if you do feel like shit, go to urgent care or the er. Sometimes it’s fairly minor, if you’re only babysitting 3-4 beers a day. But if you like hard liquor and go through more than like a third of the bottle a night, it can be an absolute nightmare that with potential to be fatal. That’s how Amy Winehouse died. Mine is more minor this time though, so I’m just keeping a stash of my old withdrawal meds in case I start getting seizures because I’m prone to them, but I don’t feel in danger. Minor withdrawal is just a shit hangover for 3-4 days straight.
