I have been drinking alot of vodka on the regular for a year or more. Usually a pint a day. Today is my first day not drinking (intentionally). I Wikipedia'd Alcohol Withdrawal and scared myself silly. Please tell me what i can expect. Im terrified of seizures and hallucinations.

Hi Bazel

There's a wide gamut of withdrawal experiences.
Some of us have virtually no ill effects while others can have some pretty severe problems.

Forget about wikipedia - you know how you feel - if you're worried, the best thing to do is see a Dr - go to the ER if you need to.

Welcome to SR. Congratulations on making the effort to become sober and please do seek out medical help. Can't agree with Dee enough about this. It can be quite dangerous. Glad you joined SR.

Welcome!

I hope you check in with your dr and there's lots of support here.

You can do it. Good luck my friend!
