You can't do this alone. Find an AA group in your area and
go to as many meetings as you need to stay sober during
your detox. Not sleeping is natural when first sober but can
drive you nuts so don't try to do this alone! Eat, talk to someone and get your thoughts out of your head and don't hole up. You need other people right now. I know, I've been
through this twice. I was sober almost 7 years then went
back out. Now, I will have 3 months sober this Thursday.
So, I know what you're going through. If you can't get to a meeting, then journal your thoughts by posting on this web
site....someone will answer you. Remember to eat. Candy
bars might help your craving for alcohol since there is a great deal of sugar in alcohol. Hang in there. Life is much better sober!
