Hello everyone! I know there have been similar posts but I really felt the need to post my own. I went on a drinking binge in which I missed a entire week of work. I was drinking a lot - Michelob Ultra Light. I was going through many 12 packs very often.
I was finally confronted by my parents (i'm 25) and my girlfriend because they knew I was missing work and was drunk all the time. My last beer was Friday night, at 6pm. I didn't sleep at all that night. My stomach was a mess, and I started shaking. My doctor prescribes me Klonopin (Clonazepam) but I relapsed and was drinking hard (and still taking them :-( ) I have an appointment with him on Monday night but there is no way I can be up all night with the shakes, and a messed up stomach. So til then I'm just trying to get by.
I have 1 Clonazepam left but don't want to take it tonight, I'd rather save it for tomorrow. I'm going to drink tonight, but hopefully in a far less amount just so I can get to sleep. Like I said I was up all night last night, very restless, shaking, and having issues. I know this isn't the best method but I want to phase down the drinking until Clonazepam and then get my drinking back under control.
This morning I was able to force down a bowl of total cereal, and I had another for lunch. In the afternoon I had 2 slices of pizza. I've been drinking lots of water. I'm just terrified of another night like last night!
But I think I've done a lot today to help my health, atleast for today. I've also drank a Coke and a few Green Teas. I havn't been shaking really, but I think because my head knows I'll be drinking tonight.
What is everyones thoughts?? I know this was a long post but I just had to get it off my chest!
Thank you for reading! And thanks for any responses in advance.
