Well at least I know what they stand for now!
Get yourself a huge drink of water,a bucker and some tissue.The more water you have the better things will be(either way)
If you do vomit,please try and have more water after then try and get some sleep.
Good luck my fiend

Thankfully aya not at the moment ...its terrible ive actually hallucinated- not proud of it...its a rare ocurrance....trusty basin and as you say tissues and water hehe xxxx

[ummmm]

My cousin gets 'the fear' really badly. A feeling she's done something really bad and can't remember.

I think that would be enough to put me off drink..

[tinkerbell23]

Yeah ummm i get that now and again and i need reassured tht i defo behaved! X

I think the DT's come late in an alcoholic's drinking career. If you've been swinging off the chandaliers somewhere, and can't remember, there's bound to be someone to remind you.
A couple of aspirins, plenty of water, and a promise to yourself never do drink again helps.

[ummmm]

Have a listen...Christy Moore used to be an alcoholic.

Ever heard the song DTs? Quite funny. I grew up with that song on....always say never again.....untill the next time!

But the fear is horrible. Even worse wen u actually have done something bad x

[ummmm]

Haha...a nice coincidence :-)

Hallucinations must be horrible. I remember a film once "Lost Weekend" with Ray Milland. Mice crawling out of a crack in the wall, which wasn't there. Terrible. Enough to put you off drinking.

When I was drinking I'd sometimes think there were mice or rats moving around at the edge of my vision. I could never really get a good look at them. I thought I'd the DT's. But in bed one night I heard gnawing and knew I wasn't imagining the sound. I got some rat poison and a couple of days later I woke to see 3 rats, as big as a fist, sitting half poisoned on the floor. I had to finish them off with a shovel.
Happy days...not

It's anxiety. And you also know that a drink or two will shift it.

[ummmm]

It when you think you've done something wrong...that horrible feeling that you've upset someone badly. Chances are you've done nothing wrong but the not knowing is 'the fear'

[ummmm]

Lol...yes...that type of fear...but worse..haha
