hey everyone, just a little note to let ya know, I made it through the withdrawls! man, was that crazy. I have been through some sh-t in my life but nothing like that. I lost alot of things in my life over the drugs but im slowly getting it back. I just want to thank all who gave me words of encouragment. It sure helped. Im still questioning why when I was going through the withdrawls did I turn to alcohol and got a dui? that just really puzzles me. does anyone have any ideas? I am totally aginst alcohol expeshially drinking and driving. I had an alcohol problem in my teens but im 45 now. any thoughts sure would help. thanks to all, god bless. sherry5035

Sorry that nobody has responded, it happens to me too and I am sure everyone has had it happen on at least one of their posts..sometimes people just like to read everything but they dont realize that the author of the post is really hoping for a few responses..I am really happy for you that you have been able to get through the physical wds..i am trying myself right now to battle the physical wds from oxys and boy is it harsh..i try and tell myself that i deserve the pain and that it is just the toxins paying me back for everything i did to my body..to answer your question, i have read everywhere how it is very easy to trade one addiction for another while quitting, especially cold turkey. From the sounds of your post it does not seem like you will be continuing to drink which is excellent, but while going thru wds sometimes another drug or alcohol can really ease the anxiety or tension and thats why people do it..stay strong and stay away from the alcohol, especially since you admitted to having a problem earlier on in life..you are doing great and i will be praying for you.
