It's like that with any sort of addiction
Your body's used to it so when it doesn't get it, it panics and physically manifests as sweats, fevers, spasms in extreme cases

>>84042785
you won't know until you know. If you're just anxious and can't sleep, that's not very bad.

If you come down with a fever then you're gonna be fucked.

>>84042868
>sweats, fevers, spasms in extreme cases
How much do you have to drink to get to this point?

>>84043402
I drank a fifth of vodka a night for months and went through the shit. I'm surprised I didn't have seizures though.

Don't drink

>>84043402
You're thinking of liver poisoning, anon
I'm talking about what happens when you stop taking the things your body's used to taking

>>84043410
>fifth of vodka
like 200ml?

>>84043461
A fifth is 750 ml

Just want to tell you NOT to go to the er. They treated me like I was mentally crazy and locked me in a ward where they wouldn't let me leave until I saw a psych the next day at "9am", which turned into 11am, which turned into 1pm, and I started to freak the fuck out and luckily had my bf there advocating for me acting mean as FUCK so they finally got the dipshit stacy therapists to my room basically just asking me if I was suicidal or not (no, fucking duh, I came to the hospital so I could get help in case I was having a heart attack or seizure due to severe alcohol withdrawal????). I was completely fine just had shakes so bad and was withdrawing so bad I had such a bad heartrrate it woke me up and I couldn't breath. In retrospect I was just freaking out too bad and I am NOT a hypochondriac. That was my first time ever in the ER and I'm in my 30's. Just Taper. Please just fucking taper. My bf only lets me have 2 beers a day

>>84042785
I used to drink for 2 years straight, permanently fucked up my vision to where I have astigmatism, blipped out like 7 years worth of memories, and lost half my childhood and my speech is impaired, but I stopped before I suffered any Delirium Tremens bullshit. No nausea, but I did suffer the shakes. I still do even now sometimes. My accuracy in things has been lowered. I used to actually be good in a shooting range until then.

If you didn't drink, say, half a 750ml bottle of 151 a day, you should be good and not dying.

Now if you drank that much over 5 years, like my uncle with his Canadian Mist for every day straight, ok, you might die. Your body absolutely loves alcohol at that point, and your nerves will fire too hard to "settle".

>>84043487
Damn, why did you quit?

>>84043518
Got sent to rehab and realized I didn't want to go back again

>>84043536
What was your rehab experience? Is it hard to adjust to sober life?

>What was your rehab experience?
Days started at 6. Classes started at 8 and ended at 5. Had to go to 6/8 classes a day. Most were full of bullshitting and people whining. Had to go to AA 5 times a week. Not bad, but don't want to go back

> Is it hard to adjust to sober life?
You have to change your entire lifestyle and outlook on life. I knew some guys in rehab who immediately relapsed because they lived with drinkers who kept alcohol around the house, but luckily, my mom is a teetotaler

>>84043568
>You have to change your entire lifestyle and outlook on life
Would you say that you're a different person now? Also, congrats on stopping drinking. I could learn from you.

>>84043600
>Would you say that you're a different person now?
Yes. Far from perfect and where I want to be. But at least I'm no longer drinking myself stupid and ruining my life with booze

Kevin Nash's son died because he quit alcohol cold turkey and didn't get help

>>84043725
Must've been a conscious choice to avoid detox. Probably suicidal

Probably some Buddhist thing. Asian philosophy likes to use contradiction and absurdity to prove a point. If after reading that you asked what's really natural then you got the point. Second guessing yourself is not natural. Listening to the unnatural authority of a celebrity is not natural. That's the trap. Lots of people will tell you what is and isn't natural.
>Behold the foules of the aire: for they sow not, neither do they reape, nor gather into barnes, yet your heauenly father feedeth them. Are yee not much better then they?
You think birds have to be told what's natural? Yet they get along just fine.

>>84042785
its (((google))) being a faggot
opiates and opoiods are worse

>>84044852
This isn't true. Alcohol wd can actually kill you. I've never heard of anyone dying from opiate wd. Op should maybe check into a hospital/detox. That's why goog was suggesting the hotline. Usually mental health hospitals accomodate both suicidal depression as well as substance abuse detox. They keep you there and medicate you and watch you until you're stabilized in a week or whatever.

>>84044920
>Alcohol wd can actually kill you.
oh wow
take a shot whenever you get the shakes

I quit cold turkey with no problems, except sugar cravings, drink lots of water..... Fuck alcohol.

>in a hospital/rehab
Take the benzos they prescribe you
>at home
Hair of dog and weed

>>84042785
You will unironically die if you don't go to a hospital.

It depends on the person and how much you regularly drink. Personally I quit cold turkey fine, but the most I'd drink is like 12 9% beers a day (for 3+ years and I'm short and frail though so it sort of evens out). If you're worried though just keep a tiny bit of booze on hand, most likely you'll be fine.

OP here.
5 PM on Sober Day 2, and the craving monkey has fully hopped on my back. Wish it was easier to find an AA in my city.

>>84045300
>craving monkey has fully hopped on my back
Is it that bad?

>>84042785
I'm tapering on and off, but unless I drink 6 oz of liquor a night I can only sleep for a few hours. Gonna have to bite the bullet eventually

Also extended alcohol abuse will deplete the shit out of vitamin B1 and a deficiency can cause mental disturbances. You should absolutely supplement

you have to heavily drink daily for years for the serious reactions like delirium tremens, it's still kinda rough if you're prone to anxiety though

>>84045300
Did coffee help at all or not really?

>>84046366
I manage to taper off for a week but then I succumb only due to pure boredom.

>>84046612
Same, don't think I'll ever stop. I should go sober for an extended time then just cruise at a couple beers a night. I think that's the best I can hope for

>>84046612
>>84046864
You could just smoke weed or eat weed edibles if you are bored desu
It won't be as "fun" as alcohol, especially to start but you will find it not boring

>>84042785
>ornery
This retard thinks hes going to cold turkey alcohol and just be a little peeved for a few days, nigga in for a rude awakening

weed got me through it and some pain pills. i'm really resistant to addictions though, I think other people would be prone to just replace the alcoholism with a different addiction.
I've quit every habit I ever had, including cigs.

>>84046872
If it were legal, I'd get into it.

>>84046366
just eat some oreos fag

>>84047278
That's what happened for me when weed got legal in canada

>>84046450
I went on a walk and went to bed at 7. 2 days sober under my belt

>>84047706
Have you been listening to any music?
I bet being sober could help with that

>>84047710
Yes. I just need to keep myself distracted between 4-7 because I drink out of sheer boredom

According to my research, I'm at peak withdrawals today

>>84048932
>4-7
Why between those hours?

>>84049078
Before 4 is too early to drink
After 7 is too late and I can go to bed
Boredom peaks during those hours

>>84047018

So you're still drinking. Lmfao, fucking alcoholic
