If you drink ALOT Detoxing from alcohol can be extremeky dangerous I’ve been hospitalized three times almost didn’t make it the third. I highly recommend going to detox facility. Especially don’t do it alone

How soon they will show up?

If you can’t get to a detox facility go to the ER, detoxing can be and is dangerous alone, without medical help. Not trying to scare you but… be careful and god bless!

I went to the hospital and requested a chemical detox. I don't remember much but I know I was in safe hands

Thanks. I drunk for 3 years and want to stop. Maybe I will try at home first. Today is a day 2 . Not feeling good. :frowning:

Ok. I will find the detox in the week. I am watching my friends dogs and can’t go anywhere yet.

It was day 3/4 that was the worst for me. But everybody is different. Just be careful

Maybe I just stop detox and switch to light beer until I can admit myself to the detox or hospital.

Shakes. profuse sweating. SeizureS. Body cramping up to where you can’t move. It is not pleasant. I drank two handles a day for ten years so it was worse than most.

Oh no! You are so strong to stop drinking!!! Congratulations!

Couldn’t do it anymore ruined my whole life. For me it’s been easy because I want it. You get out what you put in. just put your head down into the big book get a sponsor do step work thoroughly. Find that drive I remember the $hit i put myself through to get a drink or drug and they were outrageous i put that same fight and passion into not taking that drink or drug
