Anyone whos been through alcohol detox?

Last drink was aug 7th 1987 entered rehab aug12th 1987-been sober ever since.

Had to re-learn all aspects of communicating with family , friends and strangers.

i was on antebuse for 3 months and then i was offered a job by my nephew.

Hardest thing was learning how to deal with day to day stress without drinking.

when i left the first time i got stresed out i bought $10 of chocolate bars.

That would be my *crutch for the 13 years i worked for my nephew.

In that time I dealt with the death of 3 fellow employess, the death of my father and step grand mother.Never felt the need to drink

All boils down to this wanting to quit{accepting he has a problem} or needing to quit{medical or legal reasons.

Anything else i can answer you can always e-mail me @ mmacpherson5@yahoo.ca

Well i have been abstaining for over five years, and yeah, I believe a hell of a lot better! I am not really certain what you mean by using detox. You say you may have a couple drinks per week? Good in case you stop, you're not going to 'detox' in any respect. Detox is relatively a time period used for men and women who've developed a tissue dependence for a substance, meaning they're going to experience a bodily withdrawal on cessation of use. If you're having withdrawal signs of any kind, you must see a health care professional before quiting. But to answer the rest of your query, alcohol detox regularly takes from three-5 days, depending on how lengthy and the way much you will have been consuming. And its a miserable 3-5 days, however its worth it. You can get your existence back.

Home detoxes won't work. Recovering addicts need to be alone during this time and not have any outside distractions so they can focus on themselves. My Mom has been trying to stop for almost 10 years and any time she tried at home, it didn't work. It's not good for kids to be around people recovering. He's going to be feeling a lot of different emotions and it can mess the kids up. It's best he gets proper help at a facility where they'll be able to help him with counseling and such. They'll probably deal with his anxiety as well because taking anxiety pills isn't a good thing either.

Alcoholism can be challenging and difficult to overcome, but it is practical to accomplish. It's a problem, but do not make it into something that is impossible. You will need to determine exactly what is more important for your requirements and keep that in your mind at all times. Believe in your self even although you have a set back. Set backs do not suggest failure. Providing up the battle and drinking is failure.

I came across this video clip recently and discovered it very interesting. Into the video they talk about helping with the alcoholism. I think it shall probably be worth a look in the event that you're looking for solution to address alcoholism. You'll search on google for “quit drinking program Dawkins” to find the video which I utilized

No way should he expect to go through detox safely at home with 6 small children around. It is not fair to them.

I work in a hospital and have seen plenty of detox cases, and not one of them was smooth and safe enough that I think it could have gone just as well in front of children aged 6 weeks to 8 years. He also should be in a medically monitored situation, where vital signs could be checked and medications administered.

And YOU need to be an advocate for the safety of your 6 children. Do not allow him to go through with this at home, is my sincere advice.
