Fucking Alcohol Taught me to Respect it. 1

Woooo doggie! I put down 2 750 mls. last week, then a wedding Saturday I slammed about 10 large Long Islands with many shots, and Sunday another 750 ml. at a barbeque.
I woke up Monday, my bed was soaking wet with sweat and I could not control my hands the shaking was so bad, and when I tried to do something with my hands it was as if the signal from brain to hands was cut off, it was a two-handed struggle to take a drink of water, etc. and my blood pressure was through the roof.
This has never happened before. I would get little hand tremors in the past, but this is hereditary as my mom, sister, etc. has minor tremors.
This kicked my ass! I read and found an article on tapering off, so each hour I would take a shot, then slowly space it out farther and farther apart. I am a painting contractor, so steady hands are my livelihood, I was pretty fucking worried as it continued for 3 days. Each morning I would have to slam a beer just to take a slight edge off.
Also, the anxiety was overwhelming.
Lesson learned! I have kicked a 10 year meth habit, this detox I would classify as worse,,, as quitting meth my motor functions (hands) still operated proper.
I took loads of B-complex, Valerian root, Potassium, Benadryl for calming the shakes, and a gallon of water a day (which I do anyway) and many other detox supplements.
Sticking to beer, had 8 craft beers last night (over 8 hours), slept 8 hours like a baby, up at sunrise, feeling fucking great.
Like I say I have been hammering and partying for many years (I am 47), and this is a first for me, it was fucking miserable and scary!!
(Don't preach alcohol is evil, I love the shit, this just taught me to respect it.)

Jesus your habit sounds worse than mine but the anxiety is definitely the worst part of the whole ordeal. My heart always felt like it was gonna explode at any second. The hand tremors suck too. I work in a molecular lab so I have to do a lot of stuff that requires fine motor skills and my lab mates were like what the fuck is wrong with you?

I know what you mean... I never used to get a hangover until after the age of 29.
Take it easy. It's hard to get away from alcohol.

spirulina is just a food like eating anything else..
go for this:
- Melatonin 3mg+ before night - N-Acetylcysteine (Reverses damage caused to liver and protects brain from damage)

I drank 2 craft pints and took a shot of rum a few nights ago at a friend's bday. Woke up the next day with a hangover (far from my worst, obviously). It wasn't much, but it was enough to remind me why I don't drink. I hate hangovers more than just about anything else, even the slightest one.
Also had a come to Jesus hangover about a year ago that pretty much broke the camel's back and solved what minuscule problem I had. Just can't wake up one more single time to horrid anxiety.

As we choose one direction in life we must invariably refuse others as we move along the path we've chosen. So what are you refusing in life when you choose the path of miserable alcoholic?

You can change and do anything you want from one moment to the next. There is hope. I know a couple heroic men on here and IRL who have conquered alcoholism/addiction. You can do anything you want to DO.

After 30 years of weekend drinking, I guess the last year pushed me over the edge. A close friend went into a coma for a week, during that week I put down a 750 of vodka a night, until they pulled the plug on him. My mother had a stroke, kicked it up again for a bit, then last Christmas for a month doctors were telling our family they were going to have to amputate both of my fathers legs,,,, BAM! , Kicked into overdrive again for a few months. (They only had to amputate his toes and saved his legs)
I have always had my drinking schedule of 3 days a week, maybe a pint to 1.5 pints on those nights. I never really had physical or psychological addiction to it, I used it during those times to ease the pain of the circumstance of the times mentioned above.
But last weekend many old friends came to town for this wedding and it was 72 hours of non-stop drinking, in which case I had the physical addiction symptoms of alcohol abuse.
Been having nice beers and a nice buzz this weekend after 5 days dry, I feel really fucking good, physically & emotionally now. More than I have in a long time.

At your age it took you that long? To me I get drunk and it is fun but puking and hangovers are not. Learn from a master Hunter Thompson. Just eat, salt, and rehydrate.
It is a joy.
