When I was in rehab, a dude got rushed to the hospital and died from alcohol withdrawals. He used to drink a case of beer every night after work, and that was it. He was like 31, and had a young daughter, good looking wife, nice job, and had just built a house. I was in detox with him for like a week before that happened. It was a wake up call to cut back on my frequency of partying.

No heroin or oxy addicts went to the hospital while I was there. They for sure felt worse detoxing, but I don't think they had as much of a chance of dying as the alcoholics


Eta: Each drug had a certain feeling that people like. Hell, it's hard for me to turn down booger sugar when someone offers it. Still think about it, and think about it every time I look at my Adderall bottles, but I don't do it anymore. Some people like to speed, some people like to slow down.

alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawals can kill you... opiate withdrawals will not, though you will feel like death would be a welcomed reprieve...

the Thomas recipes helps, but it's not a cure all... i've detoxed a ton of times, but my last time i detoxed i use gabapentin and it helped a lot... i mean, you are still going through opiate withdrawals, but it's much less severe.... been almost 4 and 1/2 years ago

Yes DT's (delirium tremors) is the fourth and final stage of chronic alcoholism and a full DT "seizure" can kill you. Alcohol also kills in many other ways as well like organ failure or drunk drunk driving etc.. Why in the world alcohol is legal and weed isn't is a social travesty.
