Hi,
Detoxing from alcohol can be very dangerous, so it's always a good idea to talk to your dr before you begin.
By the way, you will find support for yourself at AlAnon, so you might want to check it out.

I take a good quality multi vitamin, Complex B12, Milk Thistle and Gaba (3 time 500mg)
Work out 40 minutes a day (brake a sweat) and at night I take a natural remedy sleeping aid only if needed by 1am. So far, I only took it 3 times. I'm no expert but this is what I've done for 11 days. Breathing exercises and when I wake up in the middle of the night, I read until I fall asleep again. Lots of water or whatever you like to drink that doesn’t have caffeine.
I'm curious to see what others tell you. I'm very new at facing each day sober so my intel is only worth so much.

I don't know about you .... but I'm not interested in taking medical advice from strangers on the internet. Please talk with a doctor. Like Anna said, detoxing from alcohol can be very dangerous.
Please do look into Alanon for yourself.

hi thislonelygirl
this website has a medical advice rule.
Here is the SR Rule....
I nearly died from my home detox. It left me with the legacy of several mini-strokes - something I will always have to live with now, so if I sound like a hard guy, maybe you'll understand why.
Please do consult a Dr.
What happened to someone else here and how they overcame it may not be suitable for others, and may well keep someone else from seeking professional assistance.
Thanks for your understanding

Nothing wrong with asking lonelygirl. I think sometimes people don't realize how dangerous it can be.
