Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I see your in the UK, my 1st step would be my doctor, he can either prescribe drugs for a home detox, or he should refer you to a drug and alcohol abuse team, they may then refer you to detox and other programmes, it can be a slow process, but once your in the system, your in.
You could of course pay, anywhere between 700 and 10k a week depends how rich you feel.
As far as I remember, they say the first 5 days are the worst, do you have any of the withdrawl symptons, shakes, sweats, demons etc, if not you may be safe doing it alone, best to have someone keeping an eye on you.
Nice to hear you have done 30 hours thats great, just act safely.
As for the rest, can you do it alone, unlikly, I do not know many or any that have, you will dow ell to go to an AA meeting, and maybe seek support from your local alcohol support team, there is loads of help out there if only you take the initiative to find it.
Good luck and welcome

ur not alone i have gone over 48hrs now with a drink. just past the shop as well lol. so tempted to go get some cans for 2nite but i didt. i am dteoxing myself with herbal tea at the moment. it is working as i dont ave the fluid retention like i usually get but i got a headche for 2 days now. dont know if its the detox or the fact that i not had a drink lol.x
a lot of thta has to do with the quanity and frequency of that quantity of bboze that you are detoxong from...
However, i must state...THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL FACILITY ...
it is a chat board....nothing more..nothing less.
If you have any worries whatsoever,,,PLEASE GO TO THE LOCAL EMERGENCY and tell them you are detoxing from alcohol and want to be checked over asap..
Sitting in here waiting for "the response you WANT to hear" just may kill you..
Pick up the phone,,call your DOCTOR or call the Emerg now if you are ot feeling right...
God bless
