I have been in and out of this site for nine months now....wish I would have been more proactive at the beginning....but time to focus on the now!!
So here is my question, the last few weeks I have realised that my body is truly addicted to the nightly beers. I have decided that I now need and want to stop! I have ordered the supps and cds and am now waiting for them to arrive. In the meantime, I have been trying to cut back my consumption...and have been very motivated to go AF. Here is the problem: I find myself very motivated all day to not consume alcohol, then by the end of my work day, my stomach really starts to act up, I have bathroom attacks, I am sweaty, mentally foggy, shaky and eventually just head to the store....with the good intentions of buying less beer...which I do....but along my route home, there are plenty of stores that sell it, so by the time I get home, I have already bought my regular amount (3-6 740ml size bottles of beer....that is generally more than 3 litres a night).
My fear, I have been drinking daily for 3-4 years, for 9 months I have been living alone and my intake has substantially increased. I am worried about the possibility of DT's....with this history, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I would be a possible candidate for DT's or am I more likely to go through moderate withdrawal? I really want to stop, and I can only get to the doctor in 5 days from now, due to work schedule, as well as the doctors schedules. Is there anyone out there with a similar history and has gone AF...if so, what were your symptoms of withdrawal? I can handle severe discomfort, my fear, living alone in a foreign country, is the possibility of a major DT episode and not being able to call for help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thank you so much in advance
