Hi

Hi I'm new to this Forum, I was sober for 2 years, and went on vacation for 7 days, thought you know what will one drink do, it turned into a bottle of Vodka a day, I stopped when I got home for 2 reasons, my partner threatened to leave me and that it was out of control and I am returning to work tmrw.. I stopped on Thursday that lead to a day of vomiting.. unable to lift my self off the bed, it's now Sunday 4 days and I still feel very shaky, sensitive to everything.. very anxious , last nite was the only nite I could sleep which was horrible , weird dreams, woke up covered in sweat, I could keep food and water down since yesterday... any advice how I can speed up the detox? Back to a busy job tmrw

NO. Self medicating especially is dangerous. Detox is serious- every relapse is worse than the previous. See a doctor, hydrate, eat, rest.

Welcome, Kohl, to SR; very glad you found us.

I would suggest that you see or call your doctor to discuss your withdrawal symptoms. A bottle of vodka a day is a huge amount of alcohol; detox and withdrawals can be serious.

Stay well hydrated, eat light meals, get a bit of fresh air, continue to rest.

Stay close.

Kohl

Drinking lots and lots of water has helped me in the past to flush out the alcohol. But a Dr. visit would not be a bad idea.

Hi Kohl. I remember that feeling so well. That's what happened every time I drank. It's so good to have it out of my life. Hoping you will post some more & talk things over.
