Can alcohol withdrawal actually kill you? please tell me the truth Veeky Forums

Alcoholism is a serious issue and should not be taken lightly. It's important to have someone that you are able to talk to about these matters.

Luckily for you, I will always be here to listen and then berate you for your degenerate lifetyle you filthy piece of human garbage.

Thank you user I wish i could make a deal to stop drinking tomorrow if this stops but that would be about the 50th time ive made that promise

>1.75l/24 hours
Isn't that 'alcohol poisoning' levels of consumption? How are you alive after that part alone?

Have you tried AA and going into a program like a halfway house out of detox?

insane level of tolerance after literal years of working up to that point
when i got to the hospital they took my blood alcohol level, it was something obscene in the area of 0.42, you know coma stage

I was a handle of vodka a day guy too. Strange thing is when I'd go to detox my blood alcohol would plummet and be nearly undetectable despite actually drinking on my way in. Never could account for that

Different user, but anytime I really go over half a handle a day (also working, so not drinking for ~8 hours most days) I definitely have AP the next day. I don't know, maybe it's cause I'm not the biggest guy (5'8", 175).

A full handle in a day would probably put me in the hospital, and I have a hell of a tolerance.

None of my family knows i would be too ashamed

yeah, it does take all day. after a half handle, you cannot tell the difference between vodka and water really.

They will hurt worse when you just wind up dead anyways.

>after a half handle

Nah, after my first couple sips after waking up or getting home from work it's no different from water, except that I drink my water with ice, and out of a straw.

Of course you dummy

Alcohol is one of the most deadly drugs to withdraw from behind barbiturates

Is it possible to taper out of a extreme binge im running out of booze and its not working

Well yeah dumbass. That's why we're asking.

How much you got left?

Taper is more likely to work with beer.

At least you won’t kill yourself thanks to reefer madness.

yes, also benzos

you gotta be a serious addict though

And my point is that if you're at risk from dying from alcohol withdrawal then you must have already experienced some pretty terrible shit, meaning you would be aware of how bad things can get.

dude... even writing that word is dangerous. My bro once wrote a 2 page paper on weed deaths and he is legally retarded now.

>And my point is that if you're at risk from dying from alcohol withdrawal then you must have already experienced some pretty terrible shit, meaning you would be aware of how bad things can get.

Experiencing terrible shit does not give you perfect knowledge as to whether you fucking get killed.

yes this is why i am afriad its never been like this before

If you're at a point where alcohol withdrawal will kill you, you're probably already dying my dude.

Ikr. A priest in my town once cannabised by accident. His holy water was spiked with a weed tablet, now he’s in a mental asylum after he killed some orphans to death with hash rituals. Such a waist.

I only have 6 beers left but its only 4pm

Fair enough. I just assumed that someone shaking in their bed, barely able to breath, hallucinating spiders all over their body while it feels like they're continually falling down would try google before Veeky Forums.

Well yeah, obviously. Thought that was common knowledge. It’s more dangerous, not to mention ten times harder, than quitting heroin, benzos and crack all at once.

You've never been like this because you were an evening drinker. 5 days of drinking vodka all day can give anyone severe withdrawal, even if they never drank before. But if you've been evening drinking for 5 years before that, that's definitely going to add to the severity, even if it was the day drinking which broke the camel's back.

Because i already know what google tells me
>seek immediate medical attention

One an hour.

Drink them fast as you can at one after the hour and watch the clock. Nurse the last 2 maybe.

Bye bye

>One an hour

Thats not enough, also thank you for talking to me my friend you guys are the only people that know

Not that guy. I’d recommend you just drink if withdrawals become unbearable. Don’t set yourself times/limits, just try your hardest to save it, but use it if you have to. This is how I taper. I’m actually on day 1 sober today, after tapering for much of December, and taking a few benzos and shitloads of weed to keep me relatively calm.

it has to be, and it is way better than none. Got any mouthwash in the house? Scope is ssafe to drink (sorta) and has a abv higher than most liquor.

One an hour, and slam that shit. You are not drinking now... you are slowing your heart down.

she looks a bit like a young susan gibney

i drank too much vodka on the 25th and it felt like i was dying
so ye i think alcohol could kill you

started drinking at 8am yesterday and woke up seeing i posted something about rose at 3am on /r9k/. I deserve to die

Start posting your amazon wishlists with things less than 20$ Things arent looking good

rose?

She is an angel dont even think about her

she?

girl knuckles don't line up for face punching like that dude's do.

Hey op,

I'm in and out of detox in my province, Ontario. I drink about a liter of vodka a day and in my entire province there's 24 beds to medically detox. An ironic number lol

The doctors say what I drink is no joke and not to stop abruptly. Yes you can die.

Delete this she is prettier than your fake anime wife will ever be

What is a medical detox though? I keep drinking but its not working at all

Are you saying you're gifting stuff? I could use a mouse pad, that would be really nice

yes but hurry up

usually 40mg valium a day for 4 days then taper off the benzos. 100mg of thiamine otc 3x a day so your brain doesnt get damaged.

That's dumb shit. Get help if you think you need it. Who cares what your family thinks. They're fucks if they ridicule you seeking treatment.

email me here and ill send you my list

As someone who just got out of the hospital after having a seizure for the first time, from what I suspect was withdrawals, I'd say yeah

just post it

This offer expires is 20 mins

Just the mouse pad. Thanks mate, much appreciated

>tfw 3 handle and 35mg ativan a week addiction since 2010 when i was shot
>will likely die of this

God damn feels

Merry xmas friend

based on my experience, no.

i was drinking a 750ml bottle of scotch each night and stopped cold turkey without dying.
i've never really understood why stopping abruptly is refered to as "cold turkey" but now i want a cold turkey sandwich which is sad because i didn't celebrate christmas so i don't have any cold turkey.
fml.

Not that guy, but you are a solid guy. Take care of yourself.

Cold turkey is a reference to leftover Christmas dinner. Delicious, cosy and warming at first, but then eating (drinking/injecting, whatever) the same thing is shit, and gets progressively worse no matter how much you chase that original feel.

I swear God i will stop this time i mean it

3 beers left extending this offer for 30 more mihns

success rate after five years for a diagnosed alcoholic is less than 5%. Don't be rough on yourself, and find another carrot to chase. I use weed, but it still gets hard when I run out. Just take it moment to moment. Every good one counts.

Literally cant even give anything away on Veeky Forums

nice quads. I think we want you to save some cash and feel better.

Hey, the mousepad guy will remember you.anyway. Hpw bad are you? Are you the vodka drinker only has six beers fellow?

Just makes you remember why you started in the first place.

Cant tell what’s worse, really.
