Alcoholic here. Drank 3 bottles of wine every evening for two years straight, but need to stay home now and save money.
Stopped cold turkey 48 hours ago. I plan on drinking again once the Coronavirus has gone away and life goes back to normal. So far I'm more socially awkward as the only side effect but I expect symptoms to worsen sooner or later.
Any ex drinker on Yas Forums who can tell me when withdrawal symptoms are going to start, how bad is it going to get based on my drinking behavior, and how am I going to survive them?
Withdrawal symptoms last within the first 24 to 48 hours you retard. Learn to google. Drinking that much doesn't even qualify you as an alcoholic you fucking spastic fuck. kys

Alcohol withdrawal is unique among withdrawal as it can kill you. Delerium tremens starts at about 48 hours post-last-drink so you may be entering a dangerous window. Confusion, seizures, hallucinations may occur. Alcohol withdrawal is a reasonable cause for hospital admission and I encourage you to either seek medical care or try to cut down on your total alcohol consumption instead of going cold turkey for the time being. Ease the brakes instead of slamming on them.

Look up maintenance drinking, immediately stopping can have bad consequences
Grayson Rivera
He stopped 48 hours ago. You're med school must have been a joke. He's already stopped you dumb fuck.

>wine don't they let little kids drink wine in some countries? It's kind of a pussy drink, at least tell people you drink hard liquor, like 3 pints of whiskey or something a day
Jace Morgan
Idk, if he literally means 365 days a year. Thats over 10 oz of pure alcohol every night. I drink quite a bit too, and thats a lot.
Connor Clark
He said he drank in the evenings. Majority of real alcoholics don't stop drinking. They drink in the morning and all day to prevent the hangover, pretty soon they do it to prevent withdrawals. They do that shit for 5-10 years.
Josiah Roberts
At "about" 48 hours you retard. Some patients have been seen falling ill with DTs a WEEK after stopping. This is a serious and potentially fatal complication of alcohol withdrawal.
I know you're a retard, but try not to bring other people to your level. You're making this site look bad.
Bentley Morales
lol this, any real drunk will realize you don't go for the beer or wine anymore at some point
Tyler Fisher
Same here bro, been drinking every day for about 2 -3 years. I can't sleep without alcohol, if I don't drink I am awake for days straight and violent nightmares and shake alot. Anyone have any recommendations?
Alexander Cox
don't drink you retard
Luis Evans
What the fuck is wrong with you dude? If three bottles of wine a day don't make you an alcoholic, i don't wanna know what does.
Jaxon Walker
lol, not after the small amount he's been drinking. the only retard here is you
Elijah Roberts
Have you thought about being a psychiatrist?

Hey user, I recently just stopped drinking about 3 days ago cold turkey as well, it's been hard, I was a pretty heavy drinker for my age and so far it's been difficult. You get that constant thought in your head where you tell yourself ah just one drink to calm down the urges a bit or just a shot to get at least a taste of it but these are just things you have to ignore. It takes a lot of self control I've been very close to relapsing but just keep at it man. After some time you'll realize you don't need it, you could try making yourself drinks without alcohol or drinking non alcoholic wine or beer , just to get rid of the urge . I can't recommend using other substances to cope since you would just be replacing one habit with another. Take it one day at a time it gets easier or it gets harder you just gotta wait it out and see. Challenge yourself , if you give in well that's something that happens.
You mentioned you would drink again after this passes which is fine it gives your body a break. I would recommend exercising , maybe learn a new skill or just sleep whenever you get the urge to drink. You got this brother, one day at a time.

Nigger, 3 bottles of wine a night is absolutely alcoholism, and withdrawals can be very serious from it
Cameron Adams
If there's no DTs yet then you're good my man. Enjoy sobriety

Bunch of little faggots and their relapse. Do us a favor and just drink yourself to death so the world isn't full of your weak-willed genetics.
Blake Cruz
Same my dude. I only drink 2-3 nights a week now but those other nights are very little to no sleep with violent tremors and nightmares.
kek. why is everyone so eager to jump to being an alcoholic? you fuckers just want a pity party?
Jacob Gray
Yeah exactly me, I didn't drink for about a week a couple weeks ago. I started seeing shit and hearing voices
Carter Rivera
Former professional alcoholic gets. Your withdrawals can be severe, based on my experience your age will affect it. If you get the delirium tremens, you're going to go through a bit of hell. It's terrifying because you stop knowing which direction straight is. After 3-5 days, you should be good though. After going through that, I have up that job
Angel Hall
You amaze me. I've been here since 2007 and I've never seen an user as stupid and inflammatory as you.
A bottle of wine has around 8 standard drinks. Three of those equates to 24. OP does that in one evening. That would kill most people, nevermind be one's daily routine.
Think critically, I don't know when you're from, or how old you are. But you gain nothing from insulting people with no logical backing. Apply yourself. You can be more than what you are.
Joshua Phillips
jfc dude, go out in the real world then you'll see what alcoholics are really like. OP doesn't even qualify
You should ABSOLUTELY not stop cold turkey. That's actually dangerous for a heavy alcoholic. Please get help at a hospital so you can come off safely. (Source: I am a Urgent Care Physician Assistant)
David Barnes
I think it might depend on the person. I drink between 20 and 30 beers a day everyday since I was about 16, 26 now, except I started doing sober October. Never even got the shakes.
Sebastian Bennett
That would kill most people? Thats nothing and I dont have a drinking problem.
Hunter Clark
God the amount of bs on this post would make trump proud, even if i agree with some of his shit. First you have been a heavy drinker for 2 plus years you dont just stop cold turkey, unless you have a medical professional looking after you. First you lower your consumption considerably. If you drink a pint of vodka a day you drop to 2 shots a day for the first two weeks, i suggest substitution with wine or beer as it takes more to "fill" you up. Then after 2 to 3 weeks you go go cold turkey. You literally have messed up your neevous system which needs constant sedation. To not get withdrawal syndrome you need to slow down and quick, like a smoker lower there nicotine tolerance. Combine this with vitamin b1, thamine, to rescue whatever brain cells you have left, and you might be okay. Just a reminder for all the idiots in the form boasting on how much they drink. Alcoholism destroys 10 to 15 percent of the population. Drink moderately

Be careful, alcohol withdrawal can be extremely physically dangerous and often deadly.
Dylan Reyes
1 point for genetics, that much gave me the shakes after 26
