Advice needed. I typically drank 3 tall cans of 7.9% beer/day and about 8/day on sat/sun for the last few years. The last drink I had was 84 hours ago and I don't really have any withdrawl symptoms that I know of besides being a bare bit fuzzy in the head and someone said I looked a bit pale. I'm I OK given I havent had any of the serios symptoms you guys are talking about? I have no nausea, normal appatite, sleeping well, etc.

I do have mild headaches not requiring meds

You should be OK if you've made it 84 hours without any significant withdrawal symptoms IMO.

Welcome to the forum, fancy and congrats on getting sober! This is a great place for support - so stick around!

We're not allowed to give medical advice (everyone has a different drinking history and a different physical makeup, etc.) - and it's always best to see a doctor. I will say, though, that I felt better after 2 days (I usually drank up to a bottle of wine most nights).

Thanks all....I didn't really have any symptoms after 24 or 48 hours besides a mild headache on and off. I had some abdominal pain the night of my last drink but I think that was diet related - lots of spicy stuff + alcohol + grease here and there.

Hey Fancy. I'm at 43 hours and all I've had is a dull headache, but that could be because I'm at work and some dizzyness. I slept fine last night and I'm feeling a bit sluggish and apathetic. I haven't not drank on a weekend in I wanna say 2 years, so I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to going to a meeting and heading home to make dinner for my gf and not be passed out on the couch when she gets home from work.

I think detox is different for each person, by day 2 I was shaking uncontrollably, could not sleep more than an hour or two at a time, had continuous panic attacks, racing heart, and felt like my head was going to explode. It took me about until day 4 until I finally started to come around. Don't mess with detox it's a dangerous business and if in doubt go see your doctor, in hind sight that should have been what I should have done.

From my experience I usually was OK within 48 hours or so.

Once you're past 48 hours then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
But as has been said, it's impossible to pinpoint when it gets dangerous.
I had the nightly panic like attacks/racing heart/muscle spasms etc for the period of about a year until I finally had seizures.
If you read up about alcohol withdrawal, the worry you should then have during the withdrawal should be enough to make you never want to drink again.
