You have made a wonderful decision to stop drinking. There is a life out here with your name on it! I would really recommend that you talk with your doctor about this. Be very honest with them as we want you to be safe due to the meds you are taking. Your doctor will be able to monitor you better. We have a great support system here on this forum so sit back and let us help~~sara
Drinking and taking meds dont go good together that will cause extra anxiety and bad feelings so a time line alcohol dont stay in your system very long if you quit drinking. As for your bp and anxiety they will get better if you stop drinking I no from experience they will get better. There's good recovery on the forum so hang in there. Let go let God.
Day one is the best day because you know that you have started on a path to a better life. Since you are on meds, you should tell your doctor and let her help you out. Taking vitamins and supplements are really helping me along. There is a wonderful book that I found called Seven Weeks to Sobriety by Joan Larson. The book tries to pinpoint the forces that make you want to drink, and based on how you answer the questions, recommends a nutritional plan. I found everything at the local health food store, and most of it were things I had never heard of. But I have been taking them exactly as she outlines and I haven't had any cravings. I do have Xanax from my doc for the really bad anxiety attacks but they are starting to go away. Thank God!
