When do the withdrawal symptoms start

[ashesgreen]

I've been drinking heavily for at least the last 4 years. Binging on weekends upwarsds of 12 24 oz. steeles. Drinking during the week-at least 2-4 24oz. Steeles and Keystone; trying to make sure i drink only enough that i can be legally sober and a low bac. But of course that didn't help with the smell. But anyway, today is day 5 I haven't really had any intense cravings just that taste in my mouth when i wantd alcohol. At the moment i have been counter-balancing it with carbonated beverages, adn eating more. But, i don't want to go down that road either. I went to be healthy healthy. Not a house, or a person with liver disease. It was much easier the first few days and i feel safe. I've gotten the best sleep this week in years.

Thank you Tink..as usual.....and Perrin.....sad that you take my feedback in the manner you did...my brother spoke to me that way 31 years ago...and I needed it to PING me one on what I was doing to myself which was/is similiar to what you are doing to yourself!

I differ Big Time (!!) Your opinion of izibans' posts.

Rather than "negative" and "condescending", She is Very Knowledgeable, Kind and Understanding!!  I suspect it's more Her 'straight to the point' that You object to.  Personally I think being straight forward is a much more honest approach.  The problem with addiction and addicts is that it's not a good thing to 'sugar coat', to not be 'firm', straight, and honest, as the addicts denial is quite powerful.  Less than that is too often 'enabling'.

This I know is true

Regards,
Tink

You should NOT be on here answering posts you are very negative and condescending . This attitude is in no way a help to people in need.

I commented to you in another post so I won't repeat myself here....you run the risk of ADVERSE consequences if you continue to try to do this on your own...which apparently isn't working!
