The third part is the big one: How long does it take for your body to return to normalcy? I’m sure the time differs from person to person. For me, it got better and better each day until, finally, at five months, I found my old self coming back! Really, it was five months to the day that I quit drinking cold turkey, when I felt a clarity of mind and sharpness of reasoned thought. By the way, I had previously been a regular consumer and abuser of alcohol for 26 years! So I hope my story helps, and I wish everyone the best!

Also gut biome can be a big one. It can be months before you can eat normal again. For me, I need a tiny amount of alcohol so I can keep food down, but even then within minutes it goes through me like a steamboat crashing through a bubblewrap factory.
I can drink and since my body has a hyper metabolism that means my buzz completely goes away and I can continue drinking. I still get a buzz but it only lasts like ten minutes. Say I drink 3 beers in 30 min then my buzz is gone by 40 min.
After I quit alcohol I noticed significant differences to my brain in days. But it was around the 6 month point it was like stepping through a door. Massive shift in consciousness. By the way I wouldn’t have done it without Annies 30 days of video. Complete eye opener.
I'm currently in hospital on 4th day of withdrawal and I'm finally starting to feel better. I still feel extremely dehydrated and malnourished but that's because I didn't eat for 6 days and barely drank anything. I'm currently on a reducing dose of librium and all sorts of IV drips. I hope I'll be ok, these comments inspire me. Thank you for this video!
I remember watching this sad 😭 depressed and lonely constantly having panick attack's because,it was so hard I found you again I am now 2 year's sober and happy to say i will never drink again I'm free and closer than ever withy kids
One of the times I stopped drinking I was in rough shape, I stopped quite a few hours then decided to go to the hospital, they drew my blood and I had no alcohol in my system but I was still very sick,had a hard time breathing even, they gave me around 6 Ativan to take for the next day,I could tell this one nurse kinda thought I was lying But yea , I’ve been on benders since then, if I stick w just beer, 2 days I’m ok More like 3 or 4 I’m almost 100% Hard liquor is about 3 to 5 days I go as long as I can, I’m going sober again, never wanna go back to wasting my time body and people think ur like a wimp or loser but ya got to gear up and just abstain from alcohol just do it and keep trying even if you fall , why get in a wreck why hurt yourself or liver you don’t have to hit rock bottom just stop And keep trying
I was a hardcore alcoholic and I knew that I was on a pathway to total destruction and I wanted to stop but everywhere I went all the people that I knew were on something and alcohol !!! I met someone at a bar and we continued to drink and I was in a different state but as usual I can make friends easily but deep in my heart I knew it was only a matter of time and the wheels began to fall off the tracks but life was still so good that I started to think hey it’s ok everybody else does it and I’ll be ok ! Wrong Wrong Wrong ? I’ve been a carpenter and a musician most of my life and I was able to go anywhere in the world and find work or a good way for life and please hear me God will and can stop anything anytime anywhere !!! My point is that if you think you can just do whatever you want or they’re is no God I promise you & I mean promise you that if he wants you and you to be saved he can & will lock 🔒 you and everything you try to do up until you realize that he’s after you and in charge of your whole life and family !!!!!!? Jesus Christ is the answer that will set you free and I know that there’s people that don’t believe me and it’s ok if you really think you’re smarter than the one that has given you everything and you’re next breath but at least prove it to yourself and just read 1st John in any Bible and then tell me that you still don’t believe ????
9 days in and the only symptom I have is constantly shaking? I know our bodies need to heal but it’s so embarrassing when people point it out and i have to make an excuse.
It can be embarrassing but having that physical reminder can be helpful in remembering why you're doing this and that your body doe shave healing it needs to do!
Thank you Annie. I drank everyday for over 20years. I've listened to your book 6 times and I've taken something new from it each time. After listening to your book the first time I stopped drinking for 2 months. I now drink from time to time but I want to stop completely. I've realized, thanks to your book when I feel I need a drink to relax, it's actually the withdrawal I'm feeling not the drink. Some day I'll part ways from alcohol and never look back.
Depending on how often you drink you may not ever get back to baseline in order to know what your normal levels of stress, anxiety, and depression are.
@@ThisNakedMind I drink once every couple of months but last month I drunk 3 days in a row to the point where I had blackouts. I honestly didn't feel myself until a week later. My drink problem is not being able to stop at 1 or 2 drinks, I always drink until I blackout and the root problem is my social anxiety because I when I can go for months and not want to drink alcohol but once I do, all hell breaks loose
Why do I have alcoholic sezures I've been an alcoholic for 21 years since I was 16 can u please explain cause if I don't have a have a drink I have multiple seizures and I'm having heart palpitations it's mad because I've Lost multiple people in my family and lost many friends I'm terrified be that I'm not going to survive please help I can not stop at the moment
People say they feel much better when they stopped drinking, i really don't, even after my longest stint of 18 months of sobriety. Have you ever hear of someone drinking too much for so long their brain ends up in that 'depressed mode' or withdrawal state permanently?
It's more likely to have other issues at play (co-diagnosis is very common with AUD) and that the alcohol masks/numbs those things while drinking but they do need to be addressed.
I realized my alcohol addiction a long time ago, and have been doing research on a safe and effective way to stop the bad choices that I make. This video helped me. Thank you.
How long does alcohol stay in your system? I'm still half drunk from last night, not sure how i made it to work. I went to bed at 8 PM got up at 5 AM. But I still feel drunk.
@@ThisNakedMind I take a breathaliser test at 9 30 p.m. and then another at 7 a.m. if I drank 4 beers at 9 30 would I pass the test at 7 a.m. the following day?
@@mikec4487 Depends on the amount of alcohol ( only alcohol,, not all the inert ingredients that come with it ) you intake.The normal human body will dissipate alcohol in several different ways

I appreciate this explanation, but I think that it's misleading (and incorrect) to say that it takes 10 days for alcohol to leave the body. In this explanation, you're saying that it takes 10 days for your body to readjust, which is totally different than the statement that "it takes 10 days for alcohol to leave the body" (a claim that is frequently stated on the Alcohol Experiment videos/forum). Also, there's no reference to explain where this "10 days" claim comes from. People's tolerance to alcohol certainly isn't re-set in 10 days (e.g. If I drink regularly, and then stop for 10 days, my tolerance will still be higher than someone who rarely drinks; if we intake the same amount of alcohol, it will have less of an affect on me than on someone who rarely drinks, even if I have abstained for 10 days).
I believe you are incorrect. Once you burn the alcohol off (One drink per hour) it metabolizes into Ethyl glucuronide. So if you're tested by breathe, blood, or urine, (After 12 hours depending on how much you drank) alcohol won't show up. However, if and ETG test is done, it will show the metabolites for up to 84 hours.
That question has so many nuances. We cover most of the factors that contribute to it in this blog post - thisnakedmind.com/getting-alcohol-out-of-your-system/
If you don't drink every day it takes 7 to 12 hours for the alcohol to leave your urine....at max 24 hours..now hair tests and everything else its 5 to 10 days.but if you don't drink like a pint a day or 6 to 12 beers a day then it's gonna take longer
not bulllshit....alchohol is indeed one drink per hour.....however alchohol metabolizes in the liver into a chemicle called ETG and ETG takes longer to metabolixe,...around 80 hrs or up too 5 days in heavy drinkers....this is no lie

Annie, one of the biggest reasons for my six relapses in the past two years is not so much due to cravings but more to do with being unable to take the constant insomnia and shakes, loss of appetite and general malaise following a quit. I’ve recently started using the TSM method. I take 50 mg of Naltrexone an hour before I drink and I drink WAY less. Instead of two bottles I get bored and lose interest in drinking after a glass or two. It’s absolutely amazing considering that I’ve been averaging two bottles a day for about the past six years (and I have the bank account to prove it...) My goal is to taper off over the next month and then do a full on quit. I combine the TSM with the thoughts, insights, opinions, guidance, etc. of you, Craig, and Kevin. So in effect I’m taking a two pronged approach. After a forty year drinking “career “ I finally found something that seems to be working for me. I’d love to hear your thoughts regarding TSM. If you’re not familiar with it I highly recommend Claudia Christian’s Ted talk. All the best. Scott
THAT’S where I learned about TSM/Claudia Christian. I’d completely forgot. 🤭 Therefore a huge thank you for bringing her on your blog. Besides your book I have a lot to be grateful to you for Annie.
@@ThisNakedMind hii, I wanted to comment and tell my personal experience. I was on naltrexone and it did Not work for me. I think the reason is because I was a straight vodka drinker, I always took shots. The doctors and others say you Can't get drunk while on naltrexone, but I am proof that is not true. I was able to still get drunk, but I had to drink alot more to get to that point. So I think naltrexone can work for people that drink beer or wine, but definitely not for anyone that drinks hard liquors straight
A lot of people won’t like this,but exercise cured my insomnia,I just climbed stairs or walked a hill, but yea exercise cured my insomnia, don’t believe me, try it ,just go slow,tread mill even
@HONESTO UNO im doing fine.. i made the mistake by drinking on Halloween night hoping that would help the situation .. but it only made it worse my mental clarity is still off and focus is still a quite bit off, i have to be extra careful when driving , my mental clarity is still off .. ive been like this since i drank on halloween , it kind of feels like a brain fog in a way.. i have not drank since halloween.. but im hoping it goes away by early next month.. thanks for the reply

I am ashamed to say I drank about 3 litres of bourbon over 4 days as I couldn't take anymore. I was at hospital on Tuesday and am getting terrible body buzzing and auditory hallucinations. Hospital sent me home and my GP could not see me on Friday due to Covid rules. I was given 16 x2mg diazepam to take over 4 days from Friday. However I am still getting buzzing and the auditory hallucinations. I went on zoom to an alcohol meeting and everyone is telling me I should be ok by now! I am scared out of my wits. Can you please please explain what is happening
There's no cut and dry answer for that as so many other factors play into the damage that was done to the body by alcohol. Amount of drinking how long you drank, other medical conditions etc.
Another brilliant scientific video on the subject Annie. .If you exercise hard the next day and sweat a lot etc can you remove it from your system quicker?

Depends on the beer (alcohol content). If you drink the 7.0 - 9.0 IPA that I used to love, you will be on your lips if you drank 3 in 30 minutes.

I had 3 or 4 mimosas yesterday. My last mimosa at 4pm. I have a blood test the next evening, latest 6pm. Will I pass my test?
I couldn't tell you how long it will take you to metabolize the alcohol. So many factors contribute to that.
yes with no residual alcohol, if you have a normal functioning human body
Annie, one of the biggest reasons for my six relapses in the past two years is not so much due to cravings but more to do with being unable to take the constant insomnia and shakes, loss of appetite and general malaise following a quit.
I’ve recently started using the TSM method. I take 50 mg of Naltrexone an hour before I drink and I drink WAY less. Instead of two bottles I get bored and lose interest in drinking after a glass or two. It’s absolutely amazing considering that I’ve been averaging two bottles a day for about the past six years (and I have the bank account to prove it...)
My goal is to taper off over the next month and then do a full on quit.
I combine the TSM with the thoughts, insights, opinions, guidance, etc. of you, Craig, and Kevin. So in effect I’m taking a two pronged approach. After a forty year drinking “career “ I finally found something that seems to be working for me.
I’d love to hear your thoughts regarding TSM. If you’re not familiar with it I highly recommend Claudia Christian’s Ted talk.
All the best.
Scott
I actually did a podcast with Claudia! :) I support using whatever method is effective for you. There's no one right approach.
THAT’S where I learned about TSM/Claudia Christian. I’d completely forgot. 🤭
Therefore a huge thank you for bringing her on your blog. Besides your book I have a lot to be grateful to you for Annie.
@@ThisNakedMind hii, I wanted to comment and tell my personal experience. I was on naltrexone and it did Not work for me. I think the reason is because I was a straight vodka drinker, I always took shots. The doctors and others say you Can't get drunk while on naltrexone, but I am proof that is not true. I was able to still get drunk, but I had to drink alot more to get to that point. So I think naltrexone can work for people that drink beer or wine, but definitely not for anyone that drinks hard liquors straight
A lot of people won’t like this,but exercise cured my insomnia,I just climbed stairs or walked a hill, but yea exercise cured my insomnia, don’t believe me, try it ,just go slow,tread mill even
How long the alcohol finally leave the body I have a test nest 2 weeks and I drink last week
I love you right Now

Hello
I am ashamed to say I drank about 3 litres of bourbon over 4 days as I couldn't take anymore. I was at hospital on Tuesday and am getting terrible body buzzing and auditory hallucinations. Hospital sent me home and my GP could not see me on Friday due to Covid rules. I was given 16 x2mg diazepam to take over 4 days from Friday. However I am still getting buzzing and the auditory hallucinations. I went on zoom to an alcohol meeting and everyone is telling me I should be ok by now! I am scared out of my wits. Can you please please explain what is happening
Unfortunately I don't have experience in the medical side of withdrawals and medications.
Hi Annie, in relation to this. How long does it take for the body to recover from alcohol? Completely? Thanks Tracey
There's no cut and dry answer for that as so many other factors play into the damage that was done to the body by alcohol. Amount of drinking how long you drank, other medical conditions etc.
Another brilliant scientific video on the subject Annie. .If you exercise hard the next day and sweat a lot etc can you remove it from your system quicker?
Not really. At this point the effects are at a chemical and blood level and must be processed.
I drank three days before my probation drug test and still passed. I was scared though . How did I pass if I drink a 12 pack the night before
It may leave the urine stream quicker but it affects other systems much longer.
that's where I'm at right now , I drank on Sunday and my test is at 3 pm , I'm scared
your body eliminated the alcohol ,thats it, Explain what kind of test and what is the threshold
