Just know that there are people that love you. I'm an alcoholic. I have been since I lost my best friend in the Marine Corps. I finally asked for help a few weeks ago, and the support has been overwhelming. I know there's a few of you fellow vets out there who are prideful like me, and think we can conquer everything ourselves, but just simply asking for help is all you need to do. I had heard horror stories about the VA, but, everyone I've talked to so far has been incredibly helpful, and I'll be checking into the hospital tomorrow before I kill myself by drowning in alcohol. The help is out there, guys, you just have to ask for it. I'm ready for the fight ahead, and you need to be too. We need all hands on deck, and if you're not well, you need to get well. All the best - Felonious

I'm also an alcoholic. I spent the last week going through alcohol withdrawals and tapering off so the effects weren't so severe. My throat is still so sore from vomitting like 200 times in 2 days, i have acid reflux from it at the moment and it's difficult to eat solid foods. 3 days sober here and plan to stay that way. My prayers are with you.
We can do this bro 👊
The last time I quit I had a massive seizure and fell over on concrete and hit my head. It was about day 4. They had to hit me with Ativan to stop the convulsing. It's no joke, man, this shit really is poison. Best of luck.
Its fefe as fuck but add all the natural and holistic remedies you can to help. This is not me saying skip the prescribed traditional medicine just to be first.
Meditation, juicing, supplements, exercise.
Wow thats very helpful, thank you. I've been taking antiacid tablets assuming I had excess acids. I actually just woke up and feel quite a bit better this morning. Each day gets substantially better.
Thanks so much for the advice
