In 4.5 hours I will have been 72 hours since my last drinks.
I went to an inpatient detox and got treated with Valium, amongst many other drugs that help with coming down. First night was…well, I wouldn’t say hell. But it wasn’t comfortable. Sweating, shaky, insomnia (I already don’t sleep enough even when sober and especially while drinking.)
Second day was a bit better, just laid in bed all day. I didn’t plan this stupid trip out well enough because I was drunk when I packed and I brought one pair of clothes, no charger, no soaps, etc.
Today is day 3 and I felt fine but just ended up catching up on sleep. Dozing in and out and sleeping for maybe 20-30 mins/time. Then they come check vitals. Doctor said this morning if everything looks good I’ll be out tomorrow. My only issue is that I’m an hour away from home and don’t have a ride (until later in the day) so if they let me out early I might just have to uber somewhere close and just sit around. Maybe I’ll try to go to a Burger King or McDonald’s or something and eat some real food.
Anyways, just expressing my struggles. They’re tapering me off the Valium, I haven’t had one in close to 6 hours I believe, if not longer, so I doubt I’ll get anymore tonight. But the 72 hour mark is the goal right?
