Withdrawl sysmptoms

[bestlifeldms]

I agree with all of the above! Great information! Being older, and having been at this alot longer, it took several weeks for me to begin to feel better. Good sleep took even longer. Now, it is wonderful! At nearly 20 weeks AF, I am sure that things will continue to improve! However, beware of sugar cravings. This has been a major issue for me. My waistline proves it! LOL! Happy you are with us! Hugs and support! Best

Nan....I was heavy drinker for 30 years....when i quit I was drinking 12-15 beers a day. I used no meds....only the Allone, vitamins, supps, and Lglut from this site. ( I think they called it The Starter Pack)

I didn't have any real serious physical withdrawl symptoms.....just nervous, jittery, irritable, a few minor chills and night sweats. But it's like having the flu....you know you won't feel well for a couple days, but you also know you will get over it and things will get better. The first 4-5 days are the hardest....but just find things to keep you busy and get through the day. Be selfish....it IS all about you the first few days.

You can do it.....just make your mind up that you will not fail. Make a vow to yourself that will not take a drink....no matter what, then be stubborn about it.

You can do it...

I have a question related to this...

If you can go 2-3 days without drinking with no serious withdrawal symptoms am i correct in assuming that none will appear? (The shakes, sweating, nausea, etc.)

Wanted to put my input on this, since monday Ive had one glass wine where I would usually have drunk about 6 bottles by now. Ive noticed that when I go to bed on the 2 bottles wine per night, Im waking up shaking and with headache.. but no cold sweats. The past two mornings Ive woken up shivering and absolutely drenched in sweat.. literally puddles of it.
So maybe that means that the cold sweats are a withdrawal symptom, since I dont seem to get them whilst on the wine.

Hi and welcome
The sweating and shaking sound like withdrawel symptoms. If your body has been so used to drinking constantly then it is probably getting used to the change of suddenly going cold turkey.
You have come to the right place for help and support, the people here have been so kind and welcoming to me and it helps me to stay on track, I hope that it will be the same for you too

Take care x

Hi Chelle

I also get the mad sweats when coming of Al- but I think it is a good sign as it is actually Al coming out- or your body detoxing.

So more a sign to rejoice than worry although it can be very inconvenient at the time.
