How can you detox discreetly?

Benji, you'll want to start with the full dosage, so yes, I would get the full package. During the first two to three weeks, your body really needs the extra supplements as it tries to recover. Drinking alcohol will destroy the b vitamins and adds to your stress, which also destroys b vitamins.

After 2 or 3 weeks you should be able to use a slightly lower dosage as long as you are eating well. RJ's formula's are specifically designed for extra support during alcohol abstinence so you should be fine with those. I think that you will be amazed at how different you feel within 3 to 5 days of no alcohol and a good supplement/diet regimen to help restore your system.

Take care and welcome.

Benji.

Hi , And welcome. XX

If you have severe withdrawal effects.. i.e 3 days after your last drink..
Day 1 feel SICK and heave ( retch )
Day 2 Feeling a bit better - ok - I'm fine now - the worst is over......
Day 3 Still ok... go to bed... hear your name - in your head and ears . Just like someone is saying it. ( and the person is a person =who you know - and very threatening.
Day 3.06 Try to ignore the voices and visions.
Day 4 Ask to go to the hospital because voices will not cease. Sit on hospital bed for next 2 days talking to implanted earpiece and watching little bugs crawling up your bed. ( now Librium has been dispensed).
Day 7 Ask to have a shower... realise that it all has been a living nightmare and phone your mum. Perfectly fine now - but that devil is still lurking.

Now. That devil, will ALWAYS lurk, but this site is a place to share and hopefully overcome that little ?%^%&*(%* !!!!

As far as self medicating goes... You cannot buy chlordiazepoxide ( librium ) over the net - yet I bought valium and they did the trick.... as far as withdrawals are concerned, but you have to take them in the same dosage as libs are... AND only buy as much as you need for a 10 day de-tox. And get yourself set up with a follow up consultation with an alcohol unit who does not need to know that you have self medicated, but will be there when you ''' Need ''' a drink.

I have been going now for 2 appointments on a one-2one basis, but I will now share ( I think !! )
But not AA .

Anyway I am Professor Yafell !! ho ho ( if not from UK then wo'nt understand ) .... That is my experience - I reckon I should have posted this when I first joined MYO. But I feel that now is a Good time to share.

I hope it has made you feel that this journey need not be on your own.

Love to you and lots of kisses.

Thanks!

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I seem to get valuable info from everyone who responds.

My drink of choice for years was about 12-13 oz of bourbon with coke. Over the last 7 days I have weaned myself to two .25 mg. of Xanax in the morning and two glasses of wine in the evening. I'm feeling a little discomfort in the middle of the day but I'm able to distract myself with work enough to overcome it. By the end of next week I want to off everything. Just doing a little less each day.

Thanks again, Benji

Great job, Benji! You're doing well. I went thru detox at an outpatient program and it saved my life. I am glad you are not trying to do this without detox.

I am new here...this is my first post...but I've been reading for a few days and am reading the MWO book. This is all very encouraging to me. I've been in AA recently and many years ago and really prefer not to go that route if possible. I would like to drink in moderation, but that may not be possible for me. I'm looking forward to finishing this book and buying the supplements.

Thanks to all who post for making this site a such a valuable place to come.

withdrawal

D.,
I know what you're going through (maybe not quite). I'm in my fifth day without massive amounts of alcohol (12-14 0z.). With the help of two 25 mg. of xanax in am (gets me through the work day), I have just one or two glasses of red wine. Bourbon and coke was my alcohol of choice and it went down like water. For me red wine would be my last alcohol of choice, so I just sip it to keep the worst withdrawals at bay. I'm still having symptoms such as dizziness, strange feelings around my heart, lightheadedness, throbbing head and loud ringing in my left ear. Sometimes there is a slight nauseau, just bad feelings all around that are hard to explain if you have nothing to compare it to.

How long did you stay in the clinic? What meds and how much did you get?

I admire anyone's plunge to go ahead and detox in a clinic. It is obviously the best way to go. Good Luck!
