Yes bath's or showers!!!!!!  An absolute LIFESAVER during withdrawal.  Add epsom salts as a scrub and what a relief!!  I could shower 2 sometimes 3 times in a night when I was in withdrawal.  Really helped with anxiety and sleeping. :)  Thank g-d for those showers.

There have been format issues since the Mobile option became available last month.  What you're probably seeing is what the screen looks like on a smart phone.  I get it every time I log in and occasionally when jumping to different forums.  I know the engineers are working on it but obviously haven't found a solution yet.  You're not alone!

Try to stay away from alcohol.  It made my husband's detox a thousand times worse and more dangerous than it would have been without it.  The hot baths really do help, so drag yourself in there and soak!

Yeah, alcohol did me no favors when detoxing.  I tried to have a glass or two of wine and the symptoms would only be magnified, so I found it best to stay away while going through withdrawal.

Hey, drinking to stop anxiety is a bad idea!  Try taking a walk or hot bath or something to calm down!  I know it's tough right now, but hang on. It's going to get better pretty soon.
