Trying to get sober but am miserable while sick.

I’m trying to quit and am on my fourth day (it’s not so bad in that realm) and down with a nasty cold. I’m miserable and lonely (will be for about a week or two as i heal) and I want to wash my feelings away. The cold is what’s really bothering me, not withdrawals.

But I also only have a shot and a half left that i’m trying to save for emergency (if withdrawals get bad) Can’t buy anymore as I’m spent for the month.

Would it be a good idea?

I hear whiskey is good for the throat too, even if I can’t taste it at the moment.
