Literally in Twos and Bits

I have recently completed a six day community alcohol detox, this I found easy to do as I was so ready to stop drinking. The problem is I have been left with severe agitation, anxiety and depression, is this normal? I cracked on Thursday night and drank way to much, can't even remember the night!!!  I have done detoxes before and felt great afterwards but this time I feel so anxious and low which is draining all my energy for being up beat and staying off the drink which I have no cravings for, I just want this bad bad feeling to go away. I would really appreciate to hear from people with similar experiences. It's so hard to stay off the drink when now I feel worse than when I was drinking. Thank you

Hello ladies

I am on face book but rarely use it but will be very happy to become your friend and you too Sara if you use it. Don't want to put my full name on here so not sure how we will find eachother, any suggestions? I had a really bad day yesterday and still having one today : ( I suffer from endometriosis and have in the past had four operations to laser it away and my left ovary removed. Yesterday I started my period and have been in the most serve pain I have ever experienced. Have been to the docs today and prescribed strong pain killers which have not touched the pain as yet, hopefully they will build up in my system and give me some relief. Any way that's enough moaning, for now any way ha. Hope you ladies are well and happy and your animals too.

Best wishes Rachel x

Being a female isnt always fun.  I hope you will get to feeling better.  ibizan and i are both in the hot flash years!!!  lol  I will send you a pm also with my name and email for Facebook.  I am more vocal than ibizan is on there!!  

Be very careful with the pain meds.  We can very easily switch up addictions so when you are done with them flush them.  Pill addiction is a horrid road to travel, i know it first hand.  Rest and get better~~sara

Thank you for your positivity!  I would like to say though that no one should EVER flush any medications down the toilet as they contaminate groundwater and are harmful to aquatic beasties.
