Withdrawls??
So I have been binging for a few weeks.
I don't really know exactly why but I have been on a self sabotage mission and really drinking too much. It is always too much but this was really too much.
I had been sober prior.
Now I wake up and I am not usually having shakes but i do start to vomit around noon
I am wondering if it is withdrawls. I do have a stomach ailment but the last time I stopped drinking I remembered this but thought it was something else. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this.
I had some hand shaking this morning which has happened before. I took some xanax and went to yoga and it seemed to be much better.

Difficult for us to ascribe anything to withdrawal as we're not doctors 
Withdrawals do tend to get worse the more years we drink tho - it's called 'kindling' so this time might be worse than previous times?

The shakes are to do with the cerebellum.
And drinking on empty stomach can bring on alcoholic dementia.
I was told to take vitamin B1 ( thaimin) whilst I was withdrawing.
Can’t remember the full details but I think it helps maintain the layer that protects the nervous system . Ask your doctor about getting some.
Don’t want to frighten you but shakes can become permanent if you keep repeating your cycle.
Take care be kind to yourself.

There does seem to be some correlation with a lack of vitamin B and 'wet brain' but whether someone has it or not, and whether the shakes are the DTs or not, is best left to a doctor

I wont be able to see a doctor but I was just curious is anyone had the vomiting experience during a detox. 3 days and daily yoga usually helps and regulates my blood pressure. I just want this to be THE END of this cycle.

HI
Pinkpanter,
For my stomach issue from alcohol, I take pariet and Gaviscon and this has helped with nausea, with alcohol we burn the lining of our stomachs.I also take probiotics, bone broth, green juice and B vitamin to help restore a healthy gut and this has helped with withdrawals also.I would also say a visit to the doctor to arrange an endoscopy to rule out an ulcer would be no harm.Good luck with your recovery.

I have a prescription nausea pill I probably need to take that as soon as I wake up. The gastro doc suggested a probiotic and I have been telling myself I was going to start my green juice again. I have the b vitamins, I just need to take them. AND go to my meetings.
Thank you all!

Hi Pinkpanter,
Well, it sounds like you know what to do, but I know how hard it is to do all these things at once. You will get there step by step.We are all here for you.Yes the stomach issue can be managed and is fine once I stop drinking and eating the right foods makes a world of difference.

Thiamine is crucial. However, if you're vomiting and have gastritis, your body isn't going to absorb much of the substance. As soon as you can keep food down take start taking high potency b-complex.

Drinking also alters the your ph level.
That’s when you get acid reflux.
Dry vomiting/retching is common in withdrawal.
The body and brain will level out if you give it time to heal.
After all we aren’t as indistructable as we might like to think we are.
Small steps, onward and upward
You can do it.

Like I am just looking for errands to do.
I have another AA meeting tonight because for my program Smart Recovery doesn't count and a yoga class. Hopefully that will have me tired enough to just want to watch a little TV and go to bed.

I feel a little warm but that could be possibly because I had soup. I will try not to ever go a day with out that combination and I know the garlic lowers blood pressure.
