Clean and Sober: If anyone wants to share please go ahead...
After abusing drugs and liquor for 8 years, I made the choice to stop using. I checked myself into an in-patient facility to detox last week.
Today, I have been clean for 5 days. I know that's not a lot of time, but anyone with the disease of addiction can feel how hard that is.
The detox was really hard to get through, and I left before the Dr. said I was ready. Until yesterday I was still having seizures and today I am having mild tremors... (jerky movements).
I am really emotional, rage one second and crying the next. I feel bad for my husband because he has to deal with all this.
I am happy about not using alcahol or drugs for these days, and scared about the future and maintaining this.
I am still in the Middle-East so there is no AA meetings for me. As a female here it would be hard to attend anyway. But I am using an online AA/NA forum for a little support.
Yesterday I had the chance to have a beer and I said no.![]()
If anyone is suffering from / has overcome addictions, please share.





first of all congrats
