How can alcohol withdrawal be fatal?

[@boriqualove5568]

The hallucinations and nightmares are insane!!!

[@itsyaboi8880]

I had one of the worst nightmares in my life last night, I had no idea that was a withdrawal symptom

[@jbenz1990]

yes they are terrifying I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy

[@yassirscott9742]

Everytime I drink I hallucinate the next day. And it's terrifying. Especially the music that plays in My head and voices

[@margosmith3459]

You probably shouldn’t do any substances. Especially if you’re not addicted to it and are just getting these symptoms. Seems like high risk for psychosis.

[@billrole4879]

I haven't had any nightmares but I been having weird dreams last night I was kratos from God of war swinging with no blades of fury then turned into a gym teacher and aliens was trying to get my gym class 😂 it's funny but at the same time I'm 8 days sober I'm done drinking and smoking

After 25 years of heavy alcohol abuse went to the ER and was diagnosed with with pancreatitis quit drinking that day and damn near died after 8 days in ICU, and several more in general hospital, crazy times, wish someone would of told me my first drink would result in me being a alcoholic, going on 50 plus days without a drop of that poison

[@mikeromo2414]

I was in detox about a month ago. Really learned alot in their what alcohol can really kill you after depending on alcohol fornabout 30 years im blessed to have gone to the detox centerni knowninwas headed straight to my grave. I thank God Jesus Christ. For putting that detox hospital in my path. So far im a 1 month and aboutb5 days sober from alcohol and drugs.

[@leongregory8428]

Im not usually a huge drinker on a day to day/weekly basis.
Dont get me wrong, Ive had 3-4 day festival experiences with constant drinking and drug abuse.
Despite this, ive never experienced alcohol withdrawal until 2 days ago.
I went on a 5 day drinking bender in spain with friends. I drank heavily for 5 days and barely ate anything. Once i returned and stopped drinking i was experiencing mild seizures, constant vomitting, tremors, suicidial thoughts and mild delusion/hallalucinations
Alcohol is no joke, i realise this now

The first week of quitting alcohol after 7 years was so hard I was having restless leg syndrome,panic attacks and dripping in sweat . I never wanna go through this again .I went to a doctor and he prescribed gabapentins incase I had a seizure but it made my depression get 5x worse .

Make sure your taking lots of Thiamine everyday like over 1000 MG's. Drinking for 7 years straight has depleted your B1 alot which causes all sorts of neurological and psychological problems. Alcohol fuck up your head just as much as drugs if not more

[@lefse1386]

I think the withdrawal gets worse as you get older
I've been drinking for about 25 years and it didn't really become a thing until my 30s

[@matthewwalker-lothian8316]

It gets worse the more times you go through withdrawals I’m sure it’s called kindling or something, my first withdrawal was bad, second was worse and my third I had gone numb from the neck down like tingling pins and needles all over body then I had a seizure, trying to quit drinking myself I had about 4-5 seizures and bit my tongue black and blue, then ended up doing a Librium detox and now 2 years sober

[@joelstrayer1247]

I’m confused about mine. I get an insane amount of symptoms. Pain in my limbs, numbness in limbs, pinching sensation in butt, confusion, irritability ( will rock back and forth for hours) feels like I’m gonna pass out, eyes get unusually heavy, will close my eyes and doze off but I’ll get a major palpitation that will jolt me awake, ears ringing, losing hearing, get cold, burning sensation in my head.. there’s more. But I get like siezure/heart attack/ stroke symptoms all at once and it truly feels like I’m about to die

[@mammon310]

Yeah that's many of the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Those heart attack symptoms can become real, but it is rare, I'd be more worried by DT's an choking on vomit.

[@matthewwalker-lothian8316]

Electric legs, legs feel like they just want to stop working haha another one I’m not sure if many have had is seeing halos round lights ?? That wasn’t necessary bad just annoying for me but I’ve had many many bad withdrawals over the years thankfully 2 years sober now finally but still

[@CannaGro81]

Just spent 2 weeks in the ICU. 6 days on advanced life support. Went from 2 handles a day to sober. Since 3/26
If I had tried to detox at home I would have died!

[@justingonzalez3354]

How many years were you driving heavily

[@CannaGro81]

@@justingonzalez3354 I've drank all my life but heavily for about 4 years. But i detoxed 78 days before that also in the ICU. It only took a 5 day relapse to cause my final stay.

[@BlkwtrPrk]

@@CannaGro81 Wow. 5 day relapse put you back in the ICU?
I have had a 9 day relapse that gave me pretty significant withdrawal though. Not sure why.

[@CannaGro81]

@Blackwater first let me say that im obviously not a light drinker. I started with a handle af Gin, by the fourth day 2 handles.
It was a Sunday, and the liquor stores don't open till noon I ran out at 930 a.m., and I was in full withdrawal at the ER with a BAC of .378. They sedated me with DEX. and the next day I siesed for just over 10 mins. Then they intabated for 6 days. They had to remove the tube because I somehow was able to get ahold of it with my foot and was trying to remove it. 🙃 my hands were in mittens straped to the bed so I couldn't hurt myself from thrashing around.

[@BlkwtrPrk]

@@CannaGro81 Ah, I can imagine two. handles of gin / day would absolutely wreck anyone even after just a few days. That's like 60 drinks.
Pretty crazy to be seizing with BAC that high!
I did have a couple weekends where I drank like 10 bottles of wine in 3 days. Definitely got some shakes from that.

[@user-ji7yd1io8u]

I learned this by watching Dr G medical examiner. I never though alcohol withdrawal could kill a person till I watched it on one of her show where a lady died that way

If u drink everyday then prolly everyone different some people don't even experience withdrawal

[@333crt]

I definitely need help. I dont know if I just go the E.R.

[@nmejias370]

Gradual withdrawal, if you are used to drinking 20 cans of beer a day, start with 19 cans for one week, then drop it to 18 cans the week after, then down to 17 the week after and so on. Of course, that takes self discipline and courage, there's a price to pay, discipline is the name of the game.

[@nlytnu4214]

False. Your brain will eventually detox off the higher amount you drank not the smallest amount you got to. It’s not like quitting smoking. Half a gallon of bourbon, down to half a pint a day. Detox was calculated at half a gallon a day not half a pint. I almost died. It’s ok, I didn’t know that’s how it worked either. But now we both do. 💜

[@matthewwalker-lothian8316]

It’s impossible to do this, I tried it at a clinic where they asked me to keep an alcohol diary, you wake up wanting to quit, but you’re being sick, you’re shaking, you can’t speak properly you’re shaking so much, your anxiety’s so bad that you can’t even speak to people you’ve known your entire life, your legs stop working and all you wanna do is get enough drink in you to stop it all by the time you get to feeling no longer sick you’re then focused on getting back to feeling “normal” eventually you’re feeling normal and life’s good again and then you simply can’t stop yourself from drinking and drinking and drinking until you eventually black out and end up waking up to do the same all over again, never ends

My alcohol withdrawal was so severe I had 220 to 245/130 to 140 blood pressure heart rate of 145 beats a minute. The third day I thought I was having a massive heart attack. I waited three days before going to the hospital. Also had hallucinations and delirium and shakes. Did hospital detox over a 7 hellish day period. 44 days sober now. Never again.

[@micahbyce2655]

I'm trying to quit but have drank atleast 4 beers every day for the last 7 years. I drink to not ever be sober but also never be drunk. Someone told me that I was the worst kind of alcoholic because I use it like a Xanax and am a non social stay at home drinker. I use it for inhibition of my anxiety and 4 beers has turned into higher percent ipas and often times more than just 4. 4 is the minimum. Yesterday I had 0 drinks for 24 hrs and went to work at 10pm that night after the 24hr without drinking I wanted to see what kind of reaction I would have to quiting cold turkey. That entire night I had sweat, hallucinations, nausea and vomiting. Thos, morning still have no alcohol and the nausea and vomiting has stopped also the hallucinations. Am I in the clear?
