I don't understand.
Hi Everyone,
I'm new here. I started a home detox yesterday ( my last drink was on Wednesday night ), after drinking between 5-6 bottles of wine plus beer every day for about 4 years, I'm 39 years old. My Dr has put me on 90mg of Chlordiazepoxide a day tapering off over two weeks. I'm now have way through my second day and as of yet my withdrawl symptoms have been very minor, just slight restlessness and feelings of guilt and shame. After reading some of the stories on SR, I'm worried that this may not be normal, and my bad withdrawl is somehow delayed.
What does anyone think?
Thanks

If you have a lot in your bloodstream it could take four to five days to start really feeling the effect. I was on pills and done a lot of them!!!! It took five days before I even started to detox and feel sick. Be prepared because it might come in the next couple of days.
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

Welcome to our recovery community.....
Too many variables to know how to accurately
predict any de tox symptoms or time line.
Especially since you are on med's as per doctors
advice. Please call him/her if get concerned.
thanks for joining us...many of us are winning over alcohol.
Yes! that can be true for you too....

Hi Walken
Welcome to SR.
None of us are Drs here - I think it's best to be grateful for the good run you're having and just make sure you contact your physician if you have any concerns.
look forward to seeing you around

Welcome Walken. I credit SR with getting me sober & helping me stay there. Nothing else worked - here I could be myself and everyone understood. I hope you'll share more about your recovery & how you are feeling.
Congratulations on having the courage to change your life after years of leaning on alcohol. I never thought I could live without it, and stayed in that fog for too long. I'm so glad we are free. Wishing you a happy new life, & hope to hear more from you.
