Detox sucks but really trying to stop relying on alcohol
Make sure to build a support system for after detox. Far to often I see folks detox and thin that is the end of the fight. Detox os just the first battle.

Really working on it, I’ve had to have a couple beers in the evening to keep from shaking like a leave and having cold and hot flashes but still better than where I was at, still working on getting rid of it completely but the side effects are scaring the heck out of me so I’m trying to do it slower now cause I tried to go completely cold turkey
It’s probably a good idea to get in touch with a dr. Detox from alcohol can be dangerous. A couple of weeks in a detox center can really help. Good luck and take it easy on yourself
Congrats on the effort. Stick to it, will be worth it. I think Rich is right, you should atleast talk to your Dr. Alcohol is 1 of the more dangerous drugs to detox from. Please talk to your doctor. Good luck

Maddie I tried what you are doing, and the shakes were unbearable. I knew that if I drank the shakes would go away and I gave in. 3 months ago I had thought of ending it all, I couldn’t go on living like this. I called a close friend of mine and she talked me down and took me to the ER. I was put in a medically induced coma, and put on a ventilator, I almost died. I made it through detox, and went to a 60 day rehab. Best decision I ever made. Sorry so long, but I want you to know being sober feels great, every day is an accomplishment to be proud of. You derive to be happy, you derive to be sober, and enjoy each day of sobriety. Keep fighting for it, your worth it.
