    I just had quite a frightening alcohol hallucinosis on July 11th. Quiting the shit again. That was living hell, believe me you don’t want that.

      Yeah, hallucinations tend to just be the tip of the ice berg. I mean the restlessness, fear, anxiety, enhanced senses, the feeling that the room is moving, the inability to sleep, the fluctuating nature of your bodily function and shit like that.
      I got mine when I was on my second trip to Poland. The room of the hostel we where sleeping in was leaning. I hade to ask a friend if I was going mad or if he could also see a bottle of water when I made it roll across the room haha.

    I’m 32 days sober. Was a very heavy drinker for almost 17 years since I was 15-17yo. Drank 20-30 drinks a day if it was beer, and 16-25 shots a day if it was liquor. I took a lot of Xanax in ,y 20s, and a lot of Norco in my late 20s up until last year. I quit on my own weaning myself off for a year and had a seizure within 2 hours after my last shot on March 8th. I drank so much water I had no damage to my body besides a fatty liver, and was malnourished as for the last 3+ months I didn’t eat anything.
    The anxiety after quitting starting in week 2 and the high blood pressure was the worst. Blood pressure finally going down, and anxiety starting to calm.

    I'm approaching 19 years of sobriety and straight edge.
    My liver was swollen 28%. A recent ultrasound showed my liver has returned to normal.
    In sobriety, it's important to engage in physical fitness and eat natural foods.
    We need to live a very clean and healthy life to allow our body and brain to heal as rapidly as possible.

    Using benzos to help alcohol withdrawal is like adding fuel to the fire. Use alcohol taper instead. Benzos are extremely potent on the GABA receptors, moreso than alcohol, so please save yourself and them the pain.

    • @Sreybk
      @Sreybk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Some hospitals do keep alcohol on hand. But alcohol is very short-acting. For someone non-dependent on benzos, it doesn't really present a problem. Long-acting benzos self taper, phenobarbital's self taper is even longer due to its extremely long half life. Quitting drinking and not trying to taper is a better idea.

    • @wuld7915
      @wuld7915 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cold turkey can have severe effects for both benzos and alcohol.
      Obviously, if you can avoid tapering with benzos, I'd recommend that-to stay away from dependency-which can occur very quickly.
      You're your own arbiter, so I can't control you-just-be informed.

    I can't understand why some people who drink incredible amounts of Alcohol are o.k and others like one of my best friends are afflicted with delirium tremens , awful to see lovely people destroying their lives . Graham died a few years ago and I remember being shocked when he came to my home at around 3a.m screaming that rats were climbing up the walls of his bedroom , I took him home and pretended they had all gone to the farm next door . Please tell me why alcohol causes hallucinations similar to L.S.D. as part of my working life involved addiction and people who were not drug or alcohol dependent . The brain is the most complex area of the body and more funding and better , kinder attitudes need to be invested amongst staff and non staff alike . So sad ..

    • @Sreybk
      @Sreybk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Many people with chronic alcohol disorder like myself have probably undergone "kindling" - a phenomenon in which the GABA receptors become hypersensitive. People that drink copious amounts of alcohol that have never suffered repeated episodes of use and withdrawal may, in fact, be better off when they quit as opposed to individuals who have binged and quit, binged and quit. Repeated withdrawals may cause the kindling process. The same applies to sedative/hypnotics. For kindled alcoholics, they can suffer significant withdrawal, including delirium tremens after relatively short periods of drinking and smaller amounts of alcohol.

    I would clearly have been classified as an alcoholic this time last year; but, inexplicably and unintentionally, I just stopped 10 months ago. I was more of a binge drinker and didn't drink all of the time; but, being drunk for a few days or starting drinking at 7 in the morning could be a normal thing. Obviously exhibiting alcoholic behaviours that are extreme and not normal. I don't know what the trigger was other than I was going though a bipolar episode that on that occasion gave me a renewed fear of losing my health and my 54th birthday (at which I poured a drink, as one would for ones birthday, especially for a drinker. I had a few sips and poured the rest out. I just didn't want it. I haven't had a drink for 10 months and have no desire to drink; and, even if I were, either by habit, like on my birthday. or by desire, after 10 months of sobriety and better health, even if I think of it, I simply tell myself, why restart now? or, "do you really really want a drink? which is no, I don't feel like a drink, and then I just go on to the next task of the day. I know that I am blessed to have had this happen for me given what I know about how much of a struggle it has been for so many to quit. Only a very few being successful at quitting despite trying their very very best. My brother and sister in law are functioning alcoholics and freely admit to it. I am lucky. I am sharing this story, not JUST to be prideful in a way; but, to give some hope. It was a rare thing to have happened; but, it did, and I don't think I will ever go back to drinking. I'm not going 0 tolerance or complete abstention. I'm not gong to put that pressure on myself, but, I think this will stick. Don't give up people, it could happen for you too; and, if it does, take the gift from the cosmos and use the little bit of control you have been given and do something good with it. Good Luck.
