    My wife quit with me at the same time, the day after giving up she had an alcohol withdrawal seizure and we had to call an ambulance. A normal liver count was something like 40-60 and hers was 600+. It was so scary. She was released a few hours later and was a complete space cadet for 2 days - had no idea where she was, had all this memory loss and she had hallucinations one night and heard chanting outside, saw shadow people and spiders. It was terrifying to see her like that. I thought she'd be stuck that way and I'd have to put her in a facility. She and I are a year and a half sober and doing amazing now. We started rite of passage drinking at 17, maybe once a month and it took 23 years of drinking to get to her drinking 3 bottles of vodka every weekend and me drinking from Fri 5pm through to Sunday morning no sleep, just drinking 48 hours. It happens SO SLOWLY it can happen to anyone. My Sundays were real hell - just laying in bed shaking, sweating, hallucinating, having weird memories/dreams, CRUSHING depression, being too scared to leave the house, having hardly any energy to even lift my head from the pillow. Choose life.

She would drink a large bottle of vodka straight everyday sometimes more, she'd drink hand sanitiser or perfume if she couldn't get to the store. She lost everything.

    Reached two years no booze last month and I’m so fuckin grateful. Last year or so of my drinking I was on a constant cycle of going on benders and then going through withdrawals when I’d inevitably be too fucked up to keep getting more booze. Withdrawals were the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. The horrible shakes and cold sweats and paranoia and insomnia and eventually the audio hallucinations. Went to the ER after withdrawing for 4 days because I didn’t want to start having a seizure while my girlfriend slept next to me. Ended up staying in the icu for a few days and a few more days in the hospital and then detox and rehab. Didn’t do PHP but I did outpatient after rehab and my girlfriend quit with me so that was a huge fucking help. This was rambling but idc, I’m so fucking grateful to be sober. Well California sober. I smoke hecka weed. Quit ciggies today.

She gotten tired of seeing me poisoning myself and trying to justify/manipulate her that it was okay. Man, your alcohol withdrawal pretty much sounded like mine, I think the worst for me were the night terrors and hallucinations. I would see shit in my dark room, and felt like I was going to die if I went to sleep.
    Feeling a lot better now though. My wife came back home with her parents and some other loved ones, and sorta gave me an intervention. I thank God she didn’t divorce me. Still experiencing a bit night terrors but not as much, bit shakes and sweats, but not as bad. Take care man, peace.

    Yeah man, so much I can relate to here! I got a very early start with booze (around 13-14). I had issues with anxiety/depression and have been pretty introverted my whole life. Alcohol really did help open me up and make me be the person I thought I wanted to be! I fell in love with that poison from day 1. Early on, I could take it or leave it and didn't really have a problem, but just like you, when I turned 21, man the wheels came right off!! By 22 I was a full blown alcoholic. I didn't necessarily drink every single day, but when I started, I couldn't stop and would just get blacked out drunk every time! I was 23 when I had my first bout of serious withdrawal. I had no idea at the time that coming off alcohol cold turkey was so dangerous! The nausea, headaches, sweating, shakes were brutal, but it was only when I started hallucinating that I decided to go to the hospital. When I recovered and was discharged, I told myself NEVER AGAIN!! Well, it happened again many more times before I quit!

    I started drinking and smoking when I started college, just trying to fit in (an introvert like you). I once blacked out, due to the place I was at there was a chance I could have died if it had happened a few seconds earlier. Waking up the next day not knowing what had happened was a very scary experience for me 😰😰😰 I immediately stopped drinking and was able to get out. Now I only drink a glass or two during the holidays or with certain meals.

    I was an opiate guy, I had a small spell of drinking like five shots a night for a couple months didn't experience any withdrawal but I can say that for the withdrawal part, it's about maintaining how much alcohol you have in your body, so if you let a cycle of 24 hours or so at least run its course? At least the alcohol will leave your system but if you keep drinking from the morning tonight you're piling alcohol on top of itself well the ethanol component is just building and building and building and that's when you become physically dependent, same with opiates and pills of any sort, you build on top and on top and on top and then that's when she hits the fan,😢😢😢 well I've came off benzos and hard opiates at the same time so it was definitely pretty brutal but the opiate withdrawal felt way worse because of the dopamine aspect and the deficiency😢😢😢😢 and it makes it so you fiend for it so bad, and you have pretty much the same symptoms of a benzo or alcohol withdrawal but you're feeling for it, the pleasure is intense as all hell, I don't miss it at all good video brother really good video really informative❤❤❤

    The more of any drug or compound you consume the worse the negative feedback loop back will be in the part of the brain it is effecting while you’re on it. Alcohol works on the GABA system among others but down regulation in your GABA system will cause anxiety, depression, insomnia, restlessness, rapid mood disturbances etc. Moderation is key for most but if ur an alcoholic it’s better to stay off.

That’s part of why ppl end up relapsing months later bc they’re just depressed, bored, nihilistic, antisocial etc bc their brain isn’t functioning properly yet. They think they’re fucked but you just need to give urself time off. That’s the post acute withdrawal syndrome, for some ppl it’s not bad.

    I'm not entirely sure if spirits exist or if they're just aspects of our subconscious/the universe we have yet to understand. That being said though, when I tried shrooms my first time (before I got into drinking), our one friend who didn't partake had this jet black, horned aura surrounding him. I told myself I was just high so I didn't freak out but he was super into alcohol and xans, and looking back on it and how alcohol has impacted my life I can't help but wonder if that was a warning of sorts, or if I was perceiving something that we're ordinarily unable to in normal waking consciousness.

DARK, DEMONIC, HOPELESS, SAD. You picked up on that demon my friend. It’s one day at a time for an alcoholic, it really is. It’s a battle that I never thought I’d have to go through. Yet here I am, there is purpose to what we do and I think me and alcohol were ultimately suppose to meet. I hate it so much brother I really do. Thanks so much for this comment 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I’m not mr AA, or mr you can’t ever do drugs again, no. I guess why I said I wished I had never tried any of it is because it is so beautiful. It’s almost un natural you know what I mean? I absolutely love that feeling, it’s dangerous for someone like me. With that said Though, will I ever smoke weed again? Yes, most likely I will. Will I ever take mushrooms again? Yes, most likely I will. I believe god created both of those things and there is a purpose for them being here. YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL THO. Because like you said, a bad trip can send you into a nightmare realm. Going through DT’s like I have, it’s the worst trip on earth brother. I wouldn’t say I’m “immune” to bad trips but I’ve seen hell first hand and it just doesn’t seem like shrooms could ever send me there, but who knows. Set and setting is everything.
