Alcohol is too far part of social acceptance. That is what makes it hard to quit. The withdrawal symptoms are nothing compared to other drugs. Try being addicted to lortab for 5 years and then quitting cold turkey.
I don't know. I was told by a DR at detox that alcohol withdrawal was usually far more dangerous than opiate withdrawal.

If you want to quit something you feel is jeopardizing you, you can. I drink now, but I do not crave it at 8 am the way I did opiates.


Avoid them, I know I'd like em too much. I'll stay in pain.

I hated the shite. Sent me into a reallllly bad depression. Got to where I was having suicidal thoughts so I got rid of that shite with the quickness.

It can be. Mine wasn't terrible except for the aches and severe depression.

I filled my body with so much shite over the years that I don't even like to take an ibuprofen anymore.

I'm the same way. I'll never admit to most of it either because only eye witness accounts exist and most of them are married with kids now too.

A little bourbon, wine or beer is about it for me these days.

I can't smoke the mj. I'd probably trade it in for that if I could.

I usually hold my tongue on wanting to call people out, but you are a fricking retard. Carry on though, I know you will.

I was aware that you can die while quitting, so I litterally used a measuring cup to give my self smaller and smaller doses of vodka to ween off over a month or so. I didn't have the DTs. My main issue was insomnia and lethargy.

Speaking of illiterate



wow

it is way past time for you to let it go

or do you not understand the difference between "don't satisfy a drunk" and :does not assist with DTs at all"

I mean really? And you are going on for several pages arguing with a man about his personal experience

Goddamn! I feel like shite after a weekend binge, and I only drink a fifth in 2 days. I can't imagine drinking that much.
