My girlfriend, hopefully someday my wife is helping me go through withdrawal
What will your be riding withdrawing from, if alcohol around for much were you drinking daily. knowing this will help people suggest things that can make it easier.
There are also others here who have gone through full scale heroin withdrawals (myself included) and people with experience with methamphetamine. Also welcome to the forum @302danw1🙂
I’m withdrawing from accolol
I mean bad. I just got out of the hospital yesterday .my girlfriend is with me but I don’t know for how longer
If you are replying to someone do so by pressing the little arrow that’s in the bottom right hand corner of they’re post, that way it notifies them. I’ve just seen your replies by chance, or if you click the at symbol they start to type the person’s screen name a list of names will come up, click on that person’s name and then when you post it will tag them and notify them aswell. Like this @302danw1. It will note show you notifications in the top right corner of your screen with the number of different ones.
I don’t know much about alcohol withdrawals but many people here do, the severity of them can depend on how much you were drinking daily. It is possible to have a seizure, I believe it is rare but it can happen. What did they say to you at the hospital? How much were you drinking daily.
There are some charts in here somewhere showing the different WD symptoms and different stages etc. I will try and find them for you

Hi Dan, are you able to give us a bit more information? How many days are you alcohol free right now? what withdrawal symptoms are you having? You said you got out of the hospital yesterday, did they give you any advice/anything to help with the detox? Were you admitted to hospital or just seen as an emergency?
All these things make a difference to what you could be doing right now to help.
Below are a couple of charts on the kind of symptoms you can expect, don’t be scared by them not everyone will experienced the more severe symptoms, that depends on a lot of factors including your own make up, how much, how often and for how long you drank.
These are only to give you an idea. For a lot of people the anxiety caused by fear of the symptoms is as bad as the symptoms themselves. You said you have been to the hospital so take their advice and go straight back there if you or your girlfriend notice any of the more severe symptoms.
You can also stay hydrated, eat small meals when you can, rest as much as your body needs to, take a multi vitamin and B complex vitamin and of course follow all the advice the hospital gave you

Hi. Thank you for responding. I’m going to pass this to my girlfriend. She is trying to help me so much and I realize it. I’m so trapped right now in my addict behavior
Dan wants to say Thank you for the advice. He has not been alcohol free and been trying to wean him down. Consumption of alcohol amount has been a little unknown I know what I was giving him but he was drinking more without my knowledge. He is going through DTs this morning and I’m only giving him enough to keep him from having a seizures. It’s a delicate balance. Let us know if you have any other ideas. To wean him down from 1/2gal Rum. He is experiencing tremors, numbness in hands and feet, hyperventilating, and body pain.
Take him back to the hospital

Hey there. I’m sorry that Dan is struggling! Isn’t it better to go to the hospital immediately to get medical help? I know he said that you were at the hospital but at this stage I would suggest that you are supervised closely by a hospital
That’s a fairly large amount of alcohol to be safely tapering down from and seen as you can’t be there all the time having full control over the booze you will likely not cause further harm unfortunately. I don’t know where in this world your two are but it seems you need to be looking in to a medical detox that will be stringently controlled by specialist.
He should be in the hospital from the sounds of those symptoms. Please keep us informed and let us help where we can, it sounds like he needs professional help

Go back to the hospital, trying to taper down unsupervised and still experiencing symptoms is dangerous (and unlikely to work)You need the proper guidance and support to do this, your girlfriend sounds amazing but you need people trained to help you with this

I agree with the others. You should seek medical intervention to assist you thru this. They can help. It is not safe to do on your own. Please go to the hospital.
