I’ve been feeling unbelievably hot and somewhat dissociated. I sure hope that what I’m going through is alcohol withdrawal, because if it isn’t then I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

we have an auricular point chart but the names of the points are in Chinese.

just doing a little research for school…I already assume that electrolytes would be out of wack.

i quit drinking a few days ago. i used to drink every day. not only do i feel shaky and depressed, but i haven’t felt like eating and my stomach has been hurting when i do eat. are these last two symptoms of alcohol withdrawal? has anyone else had this? if so, how long will it last?

What I mean is he doesn’t think I should to to any ‘cushy medical detox’ or get any Librium or anything. He said it should be the most horrible miserable experience of your life, so you don’t do it again. Is he right?

I usually drink twice a week. However, around a month and a half ago, I began drinking three times a week (spaced out, not three days in a row). I’m not sure how exactly it started, but I’m cutting back to twice a week if not once a week. I normally drink four or fewer units of alcohol each time when I drink.

Is this enough alcohol to make me experience withdrawal symptoms? As I said earlier, I space my drinking out, so I don’t normally drink one day after the next.

I’m starting to worry about Ted Kennedy, the hero of Chappaquiddick. (Well c’mon, he did save one life, you know.)
I sure hope he’s not suffering too much!

I drank for the first time ever last week, I had 6 shots, 2 beers and about 10 glasses full of water during my drinking session. I felt fine the next morning at 8am, but at about 10am, I started feeling horribly nauseas, and at about 11am I started shivering. I was kind of freaking out.
I ended up being nauseas til the next morning (12 hours of sleep helped).

I’m wondering if I had alcohol withdrawal or not.
It was my first time, so I am really not sure.
