I've always detoxed at home. The results have been about 8-9 home detoxes with 3 ER visits quickly, plus many Dr. appointments a few weeks latter with symptoms of; seizures, hallucinations, jaundice, vomiting, upper-lower gastrointestinal pain/problems, kidney failure, delusions, psychosis...well plenty more bad stuff too.
Even with all that,
I was a high (maybe medium high or medium...maybe medium low) functioning alcoholic/doper too. I also didn't have any drastic felony convictions or like that mess, yet I did suffer mentally/emotionally/physically grave consequences as a result of my wild drunken/doped lifestyle.
No matter how far you went down or managed to rise above the equally disastrous life of abusing alcohol/drugs...problems arise sooner or latter as you know.
Oooohhhhh this is a old thread...Well I hope there is something to learn, something to heal and something to share for all that have an alcohol problem...that is helpful from this thread...
