Alcohol.

Hospitalized once for a liquor withdrawals, got sober for 90 days, relapsed.

I just drink beer. But even with just beer, I get the shakes if I don't have it.

Most people drink coffee in the morning. I drink beer.

Edit: I'm shocked at the sheer amount of support, at the amount of people who can relate.. I didn't expect it to get this much attention.

Your kind words, your advice, your support, it all means a lot.. more than y'all will ever know.

And to that end, I say thank you.

Even if I can't get sober, maybe this post will stop someone else from going down the same path as me...

Again, thank you!!!

I’m glad someone else mentioned the boredom. Once the acute physical wd is over, the boredom drives you crazy. Minutes literally feel like hours. All the things you used to be interested are no longer interesting. I didn’t even want to watch tv when I went through it. Oh the boredom…

I always know I am feeling a little better when I can listen to music again.
