I'm going into alcohol detox/outpatient care. How long after being sober will I begin to feel better?
I want and need to stop drinking. It was all fun and games at first, but when your killing 30 years a night, this shit just isn't alright anymore. Cutting down doesn't work neither does trying to do it by myself. On monday I'm going to a outpatient detox place. I know it's going to suck for a while, I just want to know when the cravings will go down and I will start to feel like things are looking up. Does it take weeks? months? I'd like an answer from someone who has been through this personally. Thanks for reading this.

Why is my alcohol detox lasting so long?
This is my first question.I realize I am a rare case, so there is no need to point that out.I am almost 25 and recently quit drinking. I was a cronic drinker for the last 7 years. I have not drank in 36 days but who's counting . It was very hard the first 2 weeks and I finally feel like I am not dying. But, I still have no energy and wake up with night sweats every night. Last week my body erupted in break outs and I have never broken out before. Other things have happened, my period was so intence with pain I was crying, and I have missed work with headaches. This was also last week. My question is, why am I still dealing with this? Could it be other issues besides detox? Can I speed it up? Just a little more back ground, I also quit doing cocain at the same time. I was doing a lot everyday and had been for several months straight. Also, I have been dealing with serious eating issues since I was at least 16. But since 20 at least I have thrown up everyday at least once. This I am also trying to quit. For a year or more all I consumed was alcohol. Just admiting this to myself is a huge shock and this new found reality is crazier than any high. Please no insults. I have had a DUI, torn apart relationships, totaled my car and almost died, all years apart. I have finally stopped. Can anyone tell me if it is normal I am still detoxing? Or what I can do to help it along? Thank you.

How long do symptoms from alcohol detox take? I have been feeling a lot of strange symptoms the past few days.?
I would sit around and watch TV and drink beer for four or five hours a night. I did binge drink while watching football all day long on Sundays and then try to recover on Monday night by having a few more. There were times where I would wake up really late in the day and manage until evening. Than I would drink five or six more a night. Maybe I would take two days off a week at most. Anyway, the other day, this being the holidays I got really depressed and stayed drunk from Saturday night to Tuesday night. On Wednesday I woke up at noon and tried to get through the day. But felt horrible. I was not sick to my stomach or anything like that, but did not want to eat anything. In the evening i manage a small meal. I did not have a headache. Just felt like crap. That night I had three small cans of beer, because I felt disorientated and very uncomfortable and thought if I just had a little compared to what I had drunk the three days before that it would relieve the symptoms a little bit. It didn't really. The next day I still had the shakes and the chills and the sweats. I thought, " What the hell have I done to myself?" I could hardly sleep. I have fallen asleep well past 5am for the past two nights. Most of my sleep has been off and on from midnight to 5am and then I will sleep until 9am then lay down for a nap fro around 1pm to 3pm. I think tonight might be better though. I hope anyway. There is one more thing thats bothering me. Whenever I drank a lot before, I would usually feel physically normal by 5 or 6pm. But since I have stopped I feel a little unsure of myself when I turn my head or walk. I can walk fine, just I feel a little uneasy about it it initially. Not like I could just run down the street like before. My vision seems to be a little strange, when I go to get up or turn my head. I don't get dizzy, just feeling off visually. After a nice large dinner tonight, I felt a little panicky and just not right after my meal . The feeling is like I am still a little drunk visually. I can see fine, just things seem off a bit. I am feeling a little better now an hour and a half after dinner. I did some weight training yesterday. It felt good, so I thought I was going to be okay this morning, but the same odd feeling returned this morning and has been there throughout the day, most of the time when I walk. It is like I am unsure of myself. Does that make any sense?How long will this feeling last?How do I get rid of it for good, FAST? What is the reason for it? Is insomnia part of detox and how long does it last? I am feeling a bit strange visually because of the detox? I am committed to not drinking anymore. I have confessed to my friends that I have a drinking problem. I don't want to touch it anymore and feel extremely confident in not going back that way again, Not even a beer will touch my lips, EVER. I just want to feel normal again. I now greatly appreciate being sober. Are these my symptoms normal?Please do not reply to this if you are not 100 % trying to be helpful and know what you are talking about.

What about the feeling that I have with my eyes?RN Thanks for your answer. That sounds very helpful. I am going to do my best and get this monkey off my back. I have never felt so horrible in my life. One question what about the strange vision when I am walking or I turn my head? the feeling of being a bit visually unstable?

Is there an alcohol detox program in Loves Park, Illinois?
I m looking for an alcohol detox program and I prefer a place that is here in Loves Park, Illinois. My boyfriend, Matt, has an alcohol problem. It all started when his brother Joey passed away. Matt and Joey are very close they re partners in crime, they re bestfriends, and they re brothers. Joey died because of a car accident last March. Matt was supposed to pick up his brother from his dorm and drive him back home but he wasn t able to do that because he had to play with his band at a local club. Joey came from a party and he drove his own car well, drunk. He fell asleep while driving and he crashed into another car. Joey died during the accident and Matt never forgave himself for choosing a gig over his brother. Because of his guilt, Matt drowned himself in alcohol. After months of persuasion, I finally convinced him to undergo a detoxification program. Please help us.
