You are so lucky to have someone by your side, but as many here will tell you, withdrawal can be life-threatening, so seek medical help if possible. Hang in there.

Please seek medical attention, even ER--you would if you felt like this and it had nothing to do with detoxing.

Toxins leaving. Prayers sent.

Please do get medical help

Lost - We are with you. Most of us have been through this & understand. I do agree seeing your doctor is important, if possible.

Once it's over, it's over - and you never have to go back to that place. You can do this.

Good job on the 12 hours .. I remember counting those hours too. Yes, get med. help if you can - just listen to your body, OK? Glad you have someone with you though. Also, drink lots of water - you have to stay hydrated .. do not dehydrate yourself (very bad, from personal experience). I found sipping on room temperature water was easier than trying to drink a cold glass. ... and take a nice warm bubble bath a few times a day - the baths really helped me .. felt like they were sucking toxins straight from my pores. An advil might help too. And if you can get moving, even just a fast walk around the house, it may take the edge off a little, but don't overdo. Get interested in a TV show if you can (while you're drinking your water), and sleep if you are able to.

Hang in there. As an above poster said, once this "worst part" is over, it's over. Then you can get on with the rest of it.

((hugs)) ... You'll be out the other side of this in no time. Please keep checking in, K?

if I didnt know better I would think I was going crazy
21 hours the longest in 15 years I have been
even my hair hurts
seeing things, hearing things
my spine feels like it will break in half
cramps and throwing up.
God I did this to myself

I had visual and auditory hallucinations for 3 days--Alcoholic Hallucinosis. Still think you should seek help, it is a serious medical condition. Just my suggestion. Please take care of yourself and keep us posted.

It sounds like you need some help.

Please see a Dr lost4now - sometimes, detox without medical supervision can be dangerous.

Every minute sober is a victory. Please see a doctor for your symptoms. Detox can be very bad.

Thinking about you...check back when you can, and I hope you're doing well...you never have to go through this again...
