Am I in the clear
I'm looking for some answers . I am a severe alcoholic and quit cold turkey on nov 18 . I have not had a drink since . I did have withdrawal symptoms but I think the worst of them are over . Am I in the clear as far as possible seizure or dt or death ?
Hi Kake
I'm not a doctor but based on my experience, I think a month would generally see you clear of that kind of stuff.
Might be good to see a Doctor sometime soon tho - get a complete physical to make sure everything's ok?

I agree with Dee. I would (and did) go to my doctor and had a complete physical- everything. Although I was terrified at what at I may find out- it gave me information to make changes to my lifestyle. Prayers, PJ.
I think the acute phase (where it can be the most dangerous) has very likely passed, but you may be experiencing some post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) which can be very annoying. I agree that seeing your doc to make sure all is well is a good idea. I'm sure you will come through with flying colors!

After 27 years of daily drinking I had my last drink on October 24th, 2016 and went through some tough days. I went to the doctor on October 27th and got a physical and blood test. I also started anti-depressants.
Today, 52 days later I am feeling pretty good.
Good luck recovering.
