I tried……. (Before Rehab)

January 8, 2023

I stopped drinking on the 1st of January 2023. I tried hard to last it out and to detox on my own.

I lasted 8 days! Then the physical and mental pain kicked in. It was unbearable and inevitably, I had to drink again to relive these unwanted feelings. It felt like someone was ripping me apart from the inside and my brain was constantly urging me to have just the ‘one’ drink.

I gave in and walked to the shop, got a bottle of wine and drank it within 30 mins.

I then went for another and a pack of cider, as one bottle was not enough to cure my cravings and physical feeling.
