I managed a day

So I managed a day without drink yesterday. Today at 2pm I started to have chest pain so I had a quater of a glass of white 5% white today and my chest stopped hurting.

So I feel I have to do it gradually and then would like it to be where I quit totally as know it's no good for me.

I put my nd day for Monday to not drink on my app but might do tomorrow as had a quater today due to chest pain I'm trying hard but have to do it gradually.

Yes , if your a regular drinker don't stop straight away, obviously other people might say I'm wrong ,what I'm saying is if you've have been a long term drinker you are susceptible to withdrawal symptoms , and without medication then using drink is your only option, I know your trying your best, but obviously your health is important here.

yes it can be very dangerous and needs proper supervision and guidance by a medical professhional

Thanks for reaching out and am glad you are better. Its allways better to have supervised detoxification. Like Twinklystar suggested reach out to your primary care.

It is so difficult. My danger time is 8 till 11at night. I'm always happy the next day if I can do without it cos I feel fresher but the thought of not drinking makes me miserable. . Prayer works s so sometimes I don't pray so I can have a drink🤣

yes its nice to have it to look forward to but i have learned to look forward to snuggling down with my cat wrapped up and its hard to get up then i have cocoa and bit of chocolate not much as its bad for cholestrol maby jaffa cakes, i have been getting ale in just one or well theres 3 collected up now im not keen and as i would have to warm the drink up for my nuralgia unlike wine it stays warm in my hand and is stronger for my head pain, thing is many other people dont need drink to look forward to, so i guess we need to replace it, ive been watching romance films lol, and go to bed early 🤷

I think winter is great for that yes. I've discovered some non alcoholic blue becks which I may use in summer as it tastes good without the headache and embarrassment 😅
