They say that too much of anything is bad for your health. And this is true for almost everything. And when it comes to alcohol, it’s even more. If you drink just for the sake of company or because you like it and it’s not a habit, it’s fine. That will lead you to keeping a check on how much you drink. But those who are totally engulfed in this habit, leading to alcohol addiction, then people, a big problem is awaiting you. An even bigger problem is when a compulsive and addicted drinker decides to quit drinking. It causes some behavioral and physiological effects on the individual. That is what alcohol withdrawal refers to. It requires urgent alcohol treatment.

I am quitting drinking. I have a AA sponser and go to meetings. This my 3rd day of not drinking. I have been drinking heavely for 3 years, had my first sip at age 12. I am having major withdrawal symptoms my mind is foggy, my heart feels “raised” I have bad anxiety I don’t feel real. I already been to detox and relapsed and drank 1 Heinken duece and 1 and a half cans of busch light Friday (the night I got out) & Saturday I drank 2 Dueces of Becks & a 40 oz. of Milwakees Best. The next day I didn’t feel bad but I called my AA sponser and she is very helpful. I been to 2 AA meetings so far and plan on going whenever I get the chance. I REALLY don’t want to drink no more! The withdrawals are terrible like yesterday (Monday) I felt “unreal” I was flipping my lid is this alcohol withdrawal, Bi-Polar disorder or could it be both?? I am only 21 and already a alcoholic but I am doing something about it. I quit Benzo’s (Xanax, Valiums, Klonopins, etc.) & Marijuana as of May 1st a few weeks ago I did take a half a valium and smoked a little pot & had a major panic attack! I have NO DESIRE to do Benzo’s or Marijuana (I went to Detox for that too) The doctors said my benzo mental withdrawal could last up to 6 months so I guess I got 5 months left of that? But my MAIN question is how long will this last alcohol withdrawal last? I have never been sober since 12 either I be high off pot, taking pills (not everyday), drinking (not everyday up until 18) and or Robotrippin’ (drinking a bottle of Robotussin DM every Friday when I was in my early teens) I have never been sober but I really want a new way of life but I can’t take the withdrawals what could happen?? How long will this last!? I talk to my AA sponser she is very helpful I just thought maybe there is someone else out there who is expirecing the same thing or has? I need to get my life on track I got driving lessons June 30th and I’m trying to find a job for structure! HELP!! Thank you! No smart remarks please, I did not know I would withdrawal! Because when I DID drink I drank ALOT in one sitting I am a Alcoholic. I have surrendered I do not want to die my insides are fried my brain is mush I want to be back to “normal” but I don’t know what “normal” is I keep thinking “What is life!?” I keep thinking maybe I should just kill myself but I don’t want to do that I am at my wits end! I AM TRYING MY BEST PLEASE ANY ADVICE PLEASE AND THANK YOU! GOD BLESS!!
Oh I also have been diagnoised with OCD since age 12 (before any using of any type, I think, I’m pretty sure) I am on sample packs of Lexapro & Vistiral (A Non-Habit forming Anxiety Pill) I do not like to take medication but the Vistiral helps with Anxiety with Alcohol withdrawal, but I do not want to polute my body I am so happy I learned young I think God is looking out for me. Epiphanys are nice lol I am trying to make the best of it and keep working hard at it! Thank you all

It is said that too much of anything isn’t good for overall health. Which holds true for nearly anything. And with regards to alcohol consumption, it’s much more. Should you drink simply in the interest of being in company or even as you enjoy it and it is not really a custom it’s okay. That may cause you to maintaining a look at on exactly how much you consume. However those people who are completely immerged within this addiction, resulting in alcohol consumption dependancy, after that folks, a large issue is waiting for you. An even larger issue is whenever a obsessive as well as hooked drinker chooses to stop consuming alcohol. This brings about some behavior as well as physiological side effects upon the person. That’s exactly what describes alcohol consumption withdrawal. This requires alcohol consumption therapy.

I have been on a 4 month drinking binge, ranging from drinking 3 40′s a day to half a bottle of vodka, and yesterday was my first day not drinking and i could feel my heart racing, , and today i feel like i need to vomit, its been like that since i woke up, and i feel really really hot and my muscles ache, i was wondering if that is all symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, ive had a drinking problem for 2 years but it just escalated when summer started. please help me out thanks.

I’m trying to stop drinking.. I have binged drank several times the past week.

Would it help to drink a little bit (shot or 2) and gradually ease off the alcohol over completely stopping and suffering the detox/withdrawal???

I’m very shakey, tired.. no headache though.
