Hey everyone, 26 year old hopeless alcoholic here. I drink daily and when I don't I withdraw, I've tried detoxing a few times this month with no avail. When I do I get the shakes, heart palpitations, cold / hot sweats, insomnia, sever anxiety / depression, the whole 9.
I recently have come into self harm as well. Cutting my arms up and what not ... I've never done this before until now.
I don't know if I'll defeat this or how long I have left , I'd just like to talk to some like minded people if there are any on here. Thank you
I wish I could tell you it gets better OP but i really can't say that. I've been suicidal for three years and I haven't been able to express these feelings with anyone. I picked up drinking and smoking as they were coping mechanisms at the time but they have turned into dependencies. I'll say this, I hope you outlive me.
yo guys that is exactly what those things are coping mechanisms
theres no point in "detoxing" you should really go to the root cause of this aka depression
its not going to be easy but believe me there is light at the end of the tunnel :)

>Cutting my arms up Now you done goofed. That's full middleschool girl mental shit.
Dunno if you've got that, "Oh shit I'm gonna die," day. It's not fun though. Get some help, retard.

I've quit booze for 5 months now. Before it was most of a 26 every night for the last 4 years. I spent 2 weeks in bed for get over the worst of the withdrawal symptoms. The worst is the hallucinations where I didn't know if I was asleep or dreaming. I didn't eat, had a few sips of water here and there but fuck it was the worst feeling ever. I did think I would die at one point but what kept me going was the thought if I keep drinking I will die. Up to this point I've just been seeing how long I can go. After a month I started to feel ok. Not like better mood and such but the lingering effects of the withdrawal finally stopped. I had weed to smoke and it could have helped but I couldn't even find the energy to move.
On the other side of the glass, thinks aren't terribly better or terribly worse. Instead of drinking I smoke weed but at least I don't wake up every day with heartburn and dead tired because I only got 5 hours of sleep. I'm more determined I'd say as I want to do better at my job as I can look now and say fuck I'm 23 I have a college certificate to my name amd nothing else.
I want more out of life and the only way to see that was sober because I've looked for the answers at the bottom of plenty of bottles and they're never there.

if you're getting the shakes milk thistle helps

Go into a hospital to detox. After that start going to AA meetings. This is your only option other than fucking death.
Gabriel Adams
OP do yourself a favor and stop drinking and smoke weed instead. It's much better, it feels better, you can function better, and its healthier x10000000, oh and it will make you think alcohol tastes disgusting so you will not want to drink ever again.

These niggers saying weed is the answer need to fuck off.
Michael Campbell
death is the only option in life
Benjamin Smith
Yeah, but you can choose not to die 60 years before your time.

I'm also completely alone.
I'm kinda worried about getting some serious withdrawals as I'm out of money, out of speed, and out of booze. I drink about a fifth a day, plus a few beers.
I might be able to get money on Weds if I go donate plasma.
But tomorrow I'm fucked
Carson Wilson
Use benzos for the detox when it's completely unbearable. Sounds counterproductive, but it works.
Adrian Morris
sounds slow and painful

Not when you're sober.

I mostly drank a lot of beer but I was finally able to wean myself down by only drinking extremely watered and iced down bourbon. Kept the habit of physically drinking going while giving me just enough alcohol to avoid bad withdrawal. I can actually just drink a few beers now and be happy, some nights I don't drink anything. I feel a lot better and have a lot more money in my pocket.
Andrew Ward
someone should hire you to torture people
Matthew Bailey
In the same boat. Same age, too. It's fucking awful.
Jackson Reed
Do you feel tortured? Are you sure I'm the one inflicting it?
James Allen
Google local AA meetings in your area and go to one.
Angel Diaz
pain is always self inflicted
Asher Ross
Go to the hospital to detox faggot. They'll give you adavan so you don't die
Camden Wood
That's right, we all make our own hell. It takes courage to stop wallowing in our own self pity.
Thomas Young
You pussy. If you wanted to quit you would. I have ten dozen times.
>Withdrawals physically will be over in 3-5 days

How is that kek worthy?

If you legit want to quit go to a treatment center and dry out for a week or 2. Then hit up AA a few times a week and do shit to occupy your time. Or be a big boy and quit and find some balls to cope. You shouldn't have much trouble stopping since you are so young. I doubt your life is so bad that you're an "alcoholic" at 28. I know guys who drank for 20-30 years and quit. You can too.
Camden Barnes
Protip: Seeking help where the most negative cunts on the planet congregate will not help you in the least. Ditching this shit hole and finding a legit addiction forum or actual counseling should be your priority.
