I thought valium or some other kind of benzos was usually prescribed for booze withdrawals. I dont know about detoxing off alcohol but ive detoxed several times off heroin, and I gotta say that I wouldnt wish that kind of pain on anyone. Weed and beer helped with the h cravings a little for me. it really hard at first to stay clean/sober but it does get easier with time. hang in there, stay determined, and for the first few months avoid any contact with anyone who uses or anything that might trigger u to relapse...good luck bro

just out of curiosity, did you detox yourself, or go somewhere? and if you did it yourself, did you stay with friends or something to do that?

your profile says yer in ohio..

just woke up still alive thankfully though yup I am in OH tooth still hurting like hell, yeah hopefully today will be a bit better the hallucinations have finally stopped, I have detoxed from alcohol countless times but this takes the cake I've never been through anything like this mind is a little clearer. Idk what it was but it was unlike any heroin I've used before i remember taking the hit the powder was white only i did a small amount and as far as I can remeber all I did after was continue drinking that bottled long island iced tea shit, Ive never had an opiate withdrawl and I have dabbled in the past and never dealt had any ill effects though usually I just kept drinking for weeks on end. I think I stopped drinking a few days after that then when through my alc withdrawl that was business as usual but a bout a day after this withdrawl started and it was feeling like hell on earth. today is the first day I've had any kind of sense of clarity.

first time was with an ex. he had a rich friend with a nice house outside of seattle where he let us stay for a week or so.
second, my dad was actually visiting seattle at the time and put me up in a hotel for the first couple nights. gave me some money as well so I could buy some weed and buprenorphine off some guy on the street to help with withdrawals.
those were the hardest because that's when I had a 1-2 gram/day habit I would say.

third time was when I had government issued housing in SF, I was able to taper down slowly to where I was only using a hit or two every other day. that's when I decided to move to Hawaii to get clean for good.

I've been dopesick on the streets more times than i can remember tho and it is tough for sure, but I could not imagine trying to get clean and staying clean while living on the streets....especially without some kind of support group/friends. Buprenorphine was a god send.

I am doing a hell of a lot better than I was last night just chilling here drinking v8juice and watching stupid internet videos my first time ever shooting dope was when I was 15 in Juarez it was all good and I never had withdrawls from dope till that last shot I don't know know why I just got them though though I was never a heavy user could be maybe I did more than I am used to the other night I don't rememeber much after the first hit just sitting and drinking.

thanks for all the help and support finally straight enough to sleep unaided chemically and whatnot those little hydros did the trick on getting me through the roughest part of hallucination now I got business to take care get my leg fixed and get some teeth pulled out i think I was just fucking with my teeth while I was tripping out during the withdrawls fuck it was a crazy ass week.

 

[PegLegRon]

oddly enough I know I will probably use opiates again in the future strange how the mind works but I think I am done drinking for good now that shit is just pure toxic and makes me crazy asaf and less risk aware.I am less likely to use drugs if I am not drinking, if I am drinkiing all bets are off

just read every word posted to this thread, well... that's your choice if you decide to go back, but I sincerely hope you try staying clean for a bit, and when I say a bit, at least a year..... if not more.

I personally try things for 1001 days to see if they work out, unless it is obviously wrong for me.

they say relapse is a part of recovery, to an extent I buy that, but for the most part I don't.

from past experiences - including my own, and those of close friends - once something becomes important enough, you make it happen no matter what.

one sober brother told me he went to all kinds of clinics etc.... to kick booze, but he kept going back to the drink.

the only way he stopped was when he truly wanted to.

mind over matter I guess - and yes, I am well away of how the violent withdrawls can actually kill folks if not under medical care.

a friend of mine got off H back in maybe 1990?? but he was now a slave to M

funny story, we went to see Flipper in New Haven in - 1992?? - and Bruce Loose was hurting something fierce so a trip back to Marks place to help out Bruce....

anyhow there was immense joy when Mark got off M completely - which as I recall took a solid 20 years of weening.

I think he was 55 at the time - maybe, anyhow.... he died a couple of years later - from another curse: the pain management program.

every single person I know who got into the pain management program is dead or on their way.

please don't replace one addiction with another.

thankfully there are many support groups nationwide and it is there where you will make connections for life.

bullet proof love peglegron..... may you and anyone else reading this who is at a turning point in their life find the path that brings you to peace and an end to your suffering.

 

[PegLegRon]

oh no I have no desire to use or drink at this time but I know in the future all it would take is to get drunk again and either I will be deep back into heavy drinking and under those conditions I am much more likely to pick up hard drugs no matter the circumstances if I am not drinking I don't really see my self using drugs either unless I have some change of mind in the future Drinking was always my drug of choice 2nd was crack 3rd was H Ive never care for meth tryed it and didn't like it just kept me awake

Anyone struggling with addiction (any kind) I highly reccomend researching 'Ibogaine' This shit may be what you need. It may be a little hard to aquire but if you are reallllly struggling with addiction it could literally be a life saver. [emoji41]

I don't care if people flame me for this post I don't want to die and I can't get the shakes to go way 2 or 3 days maybe 5 I just want to live and have sound mind gona lose some teeth I think from that shot idk just hoping the hydros don't kill myass either no sleep in 2/3 days either. edit wrote benzos instead of hydros mind was not working correctly

Go to the emergency room

 

[dirty andy]

Benadryl if you're having involuntary withdrawl twitches/waking seizures and small amounts of sub to kill the sickness (don't shoot it tho). This combined with a little weed for nausea helped me out immensely. On another note a few of my friends kicked with kratom, no needles for me for nine months, I feel you're pain bro, hang in there. <3

 

[Sexyrexy1989]

Yah dude ive been though Alcohol withdrawl more times then i can count, my best advice to you is to go to the hospital. Dont worry about them judging you they see this kinda shit all the time. They will more then likely write you a script for some Ativan or some Librium to ease up the DT's. Even if you dont have Medicare those scripts are dirt cheap.

Be safe man Alcohol withdrawl can kill you
