I quit drinking and I'm a late stage alcoholic. My shakes were so bad I actually used meth, I know definitely not the wisest choice, but it helped now needing to cold turkey off it but only seem to make it 3 weeks before caving in....anyone with experience who's been there, done that and could steer me in the right direction??? Inpatient is not an option because I don't have any one who could watch my 2 therapy dog's

Alcohol withdrawal is the most dangerous withdrawal there is. It's not to be messed with. I've had several alcohol seizures and I was lucky to survive. If you're late stage as you said, then you really need to go to medical detox. It's only 3-5 days and it might save your life. Trying to do it yourself is risky but if you do meth is the last thing you want to use. That's the opposite effect you want. In detox benzos are what they generally use to calm you down and most importantly lower your blood pressure. I have detoxed at home using benzos before but I would recommend medical detox if at all possible
Thank you, I appreciate your advice
We are glad you’re here Connie keep coming back
Welcome back
I did 3 meetings daily for my first year or so.
Early morning, midday, and nightly. Got a sponsor and earnestly did the 12 steps multiple times.
I made my sobriety my number 1 priority.
You can too, if you really want to be free.
