ferel Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 i got smashed in the ribs with a guitar a couple weeks ago and havent drank since or wanted any! hoorah! i feel flippin great. oh and btw i discovered the cure for the sleepless nights after quitting. you just have to do stuff all day, and get out in the sun for a while too every day. i mean dont sit around barely at all use all your energey every day and you will sleep like a baby! in the past this has been one of the worst side effects of quitting- tossing all night barely getting sleep.

Maybe leave it 6 months and come back and tell us youre still off the booze......see u in 6 months time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Calico Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What fixed it for me was nearly dying of alcohol poisoning. Then, when I was probably close to dropping into a coma, something clicked and I went cold turkey. Unassisted, which really was stupid (don't do it, it can be fatal -- which at the time I didn't know). The two weeks that followed were so incredibly horrible that I have never relapsed (been a few years now). I got the full range of effects, including tactile hallucinations (I knew what they were, but still felt them). My feeling for time was completely skewed, too, and the dreams ... all about pain, being tortured, and so on. During recovery I read that every time you relapse and go through withdrawal again, the symptoms will be stronger than before. That scared me enough into never touching alcohol again, because any time I was tempted I realized that the current situation and the "need" were never as bad as the withdrawal symptoms (even in their un-amplified version). That included the sleeping troubles over the several months that followed. I was just completely mortified of the withdrawal experience. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ian.delano Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 The strategy maybe common yet still very effective. If we drained all our energy, for sure, we can sleep in no time even there are things bugging in our mind. Link to post Share on other sites
