@a2r1v1i2s One more thing, i calculated that i have been drinking nonstop for 9 years, those 6 last years was about 12 to 16 beers every day or every other day, on empty stomach and i would rearly eat and i didint even have hangovers anymore, and the symptoms didint begin immidietly for me but 1½ week later of being sober.

@a2r1v1i2s 35+ days now and feeling better but far away from 100%, talked to the local AA and they said that withdrawal symptoms can last from 3 to 12 months. I just want to wish everyone out there good luck and just hang in there. You can do it!

alcohol withdrawal SUCKS. my anxiety, sweating, dehydration, heart palpations, shakes etc. were so bad yesterday. I was in line at cvs to get some nyquil to help ease the effects and hopefully help me sleep and the line was taking forever. I had a panic attack, was literally sweating through my clothes, I'm sure I made no sense at the register.It got worse so later on I bought a 40 of beer and drank half it helped and I'm feeling better, just started day 3 sober. I was at a 5th a vodka a day.

This is what I was researching to read before. I started to have this symtoms 3 years ago I felt the seisures in my mind and body I though I was dying, it always happened after stopping drinking for 5 to 20 days, than I stopped drinking for almost 2.5 years, but i disided to drink again and went to the same things, Withdrawls zisures are criminal so now I'm in my 5th month without a drink.

best way to deal with it is just slowing down the way you drink until you dont need it anymore i'm doing it and its working dont go cold turkey just slow down until u are safe to let it go it works!!
