Tell me how long this pain lasts. I truly don't think I can live through it.

I think there is a difference between the pain of alcohol withdrawal, and the pain of emotional distress. The 2 of them combined makes it all the worse for the sufferer. Finding the emotional support of a friend is so important; it would be awesome if GSA does this for you. What is GSA? I've never heard of it. I looked it up but didn't find anything (gay straight alliance; govt svc admin lol).
Alcohol withdrawal pain also falls into a couple of categories, for me. Physical pain... Headaches etc which lasted a few weeks. But omg craving withdrawal! Does that ever end??!! I still have to fight the urge to drink! It's been 80 days since I quit drinking. I could've been around the world by now! And yet the urge to drink still won't go away. It's hard to figure out what works to get through the cravings. But it's worth it. Quitting Drinking is worth the pain it takes to Quit Drinking. We are here for you Mandy; Good Luck to you!
