Setback

[[Mo...]]

Hi all, 

I can’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve been in a setback from alcohol. I was living my life and thinking I could drink again, it caught up to me afte r a year and threw me back into withdrawal 10x worse than anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s been a year and I’m still going through windows and waves and new symptoms come up constantly. 
 

im so nervous this is not a setback and something else is wrong. I haven’t read about people being setback after all that time and for this long. Any advice?

So sorry. I think I have been in a setback for over a year.  3 years of Diazapan.  Xx̌

If your having windows and waves I would say it is a setback. There might be another condition that causes that pattern of recovery but I'm not aware of it personally.

X̌Than k you I have only had 1 window for 110 minuets not sure it was a window. How about you?

I have had a couple that lasted around two weeks, and some odd days here and there. I'm in a wave thats approaching 6 weeks now.

Are you aware of tolerance withdrawal causes windows and waves?

I seem to be in a continuous wave or setback.   Not even sure it's withdrawal anymore.  I was o. 45.mg Diazapan tapered for a year give or take a week. Xx

No I didn't know that. Xx̌

I think people tapering say they get it. I'm not sure as I never experienced tolerance. I imagine people tapering experience it because there's part of the day when the drugs working and parts when it's not. I experience it being off the drug.

I never had any windows when tapering.  Xx

I've heard some people dont get windows but just gradually recover. There's also some who dont get windows and feel better over night. It does happen.

Aww I hope so. Been waiting  3 years. Just get worse each year. Don't know why. Any ideas? Xx

I'm still struggling to work this stuff out myself. This wave I'm in now has gone on for longer than the last one. I thought they were meant to get shorter as time went on. It's just disheartning some times, but one day you notice something significant change.
