Worried About Withdrawal

Hello,

I want to quit drinking, but am worried about withdrawals. Should I be in a treatment facility? Under a doc's care? What are the physical symptoms? Can I still go to work?? PLEASE respond! Thanks!
It depends on how much alcohol you drink everyday. Symptoms can vary from headache to sweats to actual seizures. Do you normally feel better if you have a little something in the morning before work or do you have to have something to function before you can start your day? If so you might want to check out some treatment facilities. You will feel like a bag of S and almost feel a really bad hangover. good luck to you.

Guest: Valarie is right, all really depends on how much you drank and for how long. A friend of mine had to go to detox, and it was just awful. He had to be under supervision 24-7. He drank first thing in the morning and then all day and night, he would have died if he continued drinking, so if you are a heavy drinker, I definetely recommend seeing your doctor for some tests first to see where you stand with your liver, your heart, etc and I'm sure they will put you in the right direction. Never do it alone if your drinking was as bad as my friends, he can be life threatning.

God Bless You
