    I tried detoxing myself at home years ago. Had violent shaking of the body and an extremely fast heart. I ran to the doctors and had diazepam to slow me back down. A few years later, I was scared to do my second detox by myself in case that happened again. I just kept drinking and drinking. At times, I tried to reduce what I was having gradually. The thought of those withdrawal symptoms terrified me. A hospital kept me for 4 days and I very nearly went into a fit or a seizure. I coughed up blood frequently. They stopped it in time. I'll always be grateful. Some think treating an addict is a waste of time. It is if the addict isn't serious. A short stay in a hospital bed saved my life though. I was determined to make a better life for myself. I have close to 21 months sobriety with one major relapse on the 12th month.
    So 12 months and 9 months.

    This is my 4th detox after relapsing in Feb. Wasn't the worse . Ordered in strong vitamin b compound, which has been a god send after 3 days of vomiting and the fear. Eating lots of cucumber, beetroot and cheese salads with vinegar or lemon as a dressing, with seeded bread which contains thiamine. Chicken, fish or fresh soups for supper. Everyday sober is a great day. Keep going everyone. T-

I've just decide to stop drinking and want something different in my life I'm bored of drinking it does me no good. 3 weeks in and looking not to drink again. Will be a new journey and I'm excited to be different from most people.

    I went into the hospital to detox a grand total of three times this year from alcohol. Yeah, it took the third time and a chemical dependency program for it to really sink in that I needed help. I've been an alcoholic for many years but it escalated to almost a gallon of vodka in a 24 hour duration when an immediate family member was murdered a year ago (and another one injured in the process). I finally realized that drinking wasn't going to change what happened to my brothers. I have been sober for close to a month now. You probably have heard of post acute withdrawal. While I do feel so much better physically, I have been experiencing the emotional side effects of my hardcore drinking. I have made a promise to myself to never do this again, but I still know not to overwhelm myself and to take it one day at a time. I appreciate the informative video. I have dropped fifteen pounds in less than a month from not drinking and partially because I think drinking has affected my appetite. I am never hungry. The doctors at the hospital said this was normal. It could have induced inflammation of the stomach lining. Everything about your video sounds quite doable. I love vegetables (moreso than fruit) and prefer chicken and turkey over any other kind of meat. I also love sushi and that is a healthy (albeit expensive) food. The only thing I cannot give up is some condiments, namely ketchup. And mayo. I am a condiment-oriented person. :P But other than that, I really do like a lot of relatively healthy stuff.

    • @erlycuyler

      I know the feeling, today is my second full day sober. At this moment I feel fine but I can’t sleep because everytime I close my eyes I keep seeing crazy looking creatures or gross things that aren’t on my mind. I’ve been through this many times so I’m prepared for what happens on each day of my usual 2-4 days of this pain. The scary part is yet to come, if I’m deprived of sleep tonight I will begin to see things. I’m already hearing things others don’t. I hope this video helps us both.

    I started drinking 13 years ago. I made it to 6 months sober but made the worst decision of celebrating my sobriety with a drink. I drank for 7 days but I saw myself drowning inside the cup again so quickly. 2 days ago I decided I will never pick up another glass of that stuff, unfortunately this withdrawal has been eating me alive “as usual.”
    I KNOW IT WILL PASS.

      hi Daniel Gray, I hear you. Went through something similar myself; being a woman and sleeping in bank machines was horrifying. I watched a film called a Streetcat Named Bob on Netflix based on a true story of a guy who got off heroin -- alcohol was just as bad for me -- I found it incredibly inspiring. I am also still struggling, also seizures yes unless you go through it, it really is impossible to imagine. I joined an NA group because I felt comfortable there; I was really really serious about getting better; still am but I had a relapse and it was indescribable; not only did I feel like I was having a heart attack but I couldn't even get drunk; my tolerance was way up there. If it is helpful at all, in the period when I was doing the best, and am doing ok for now one day at a time, I did go, carefully vegan; it helped me because my blood sugar levels stabilized -- that was the main thing for me, and that helped with anxiety attacks. It is a long road but I know it is worth it. All the best!!!!

    Another great vid Kevin, thanks.
    One tip I like is to squeeze some fresh lemon into the water. You can read about the many benefits of this via a quick search online, but from what I have read, lemons are packed with vitamin C, are an excellent source of potassium, aid digestion, and helps to cleanses your system. I believe it is the citric acid that enhances your bodies enzyme function and stimulates the liver. All sounds good to me :-)

    as an alcoholic for 14 years.. i lose my appetite to eat anything if ive been drinking for 2 weeks or 3 days straight. ive already killed my pancreas and now im a diabetic. what helps most is , living on liquid diet for 4 to 5 days. your appetite will return as long as youre not drinking during that time. and holy shit, you will eat ALOT after that and it feels good. meat, fruits, veggies. but there's the risk of your body's protein and carbs going really low since you're not eating during those 4 to 5 days. that's the dangerous part. I've been hospitalized a few times cuz of that. take energy drinks with high sugar levels till you get your energy back. after that you'll be fine. you will eat like you've never eaten before.

The most important thing to have is a lemon cut in half and squeezed into a glass of water first thing in the morning every day this does wonders for flushing out your system . Other good things are avocado and cucumbers are full of nutrients.

    I dont drink for weeks at a time but when I do relapse I can drink anything I can for 5 days straight. When stop drinking because I get horrible withdrawl symptoms, shaking, body aches,and feel like my heart will explode i drink nothing but water and coconut water for 2 days, and valium to help with the shakes, but when my apetite opens, I cant eat fatty foods. but I get cravings like avocado and tuna, noodle soup with lots of lemon and cayenne pepper, on my third day my body needs sugar that the alcohol has given me and I have stopped, so I eat sugary foods, and some pasta and then back to something light. I do have vegetable and fruit organic juices, and yes I do drink red bull to get my foggy brain working after the third day of a horrible detox, so everyone is different. I just do what my body asks when I am detoxing. Always follow your body cravings for food, your body knows best. There is no way I can stomach a salad on my second day of detox. I also take lots of vitamins and i take organic Royal Bee Jelly. So everyone is different.

    surely it can come accross as asking way too much , to also cut out dairy WHILST eliminating alcohol. BUT , dairy, eggs, can keep (lingering) diseases also contributed by the alcohol (and often smoking) in tact, because by elmination of also these foods you help your body recover 10 times faster. I personally don't eat dairy and eggs because i want animals to suffer a zero amount. But, I had been drinking for more than 20 years, and stopped 2 months ago, the detox symptoms are scary to say the least. Hypertension, dizzyness, shortness of breath, you name it. But ...already the ' gifts' my body are giving me are more than enough evidence that i want to keep going. Clarity and peace of mind, superdeep sleeps, radiant skin and memory coming back (short and long term)! Lastly, this supplement is vital especially when you also are vegan and on a alcohol detox : N-acetyl-L-cysteine. This amino acid helps speed the recovery done by any (hard) drug!

I didn't really drink during the week but on weekends I'll drink so much that it will make up for the week I didn't drink. Ive been drinking for about 5 years im 21 years old now, Started really drinking my junior year in high school and I'm thinking from all the years of me heavy drinking and not taking care of my body all these years the toxins are starting to affect my body, I did research on alcohol and they said it affects the skin!

    In early recovery, the main reason you should avoid sugar and especially fructose (HFCS) is that they contribute to a fatty liver, a problem you are guaranteed to already have after heavy drinking. Also, stay away from paracetamol (acetoaminophen) and other medication that stress your liver.

      @@HabitsV2 There is nothing magical about 'natural' sugar that makes it harmless. Your liver does not care whether the fructose molecules it has to process come from fresh fruit or a can of soda. If you eat plenty of sweet fruit, you are eating plenty of sugar, and that is a terrible thing to do, especially if you want to heal a fatty liver.
      Of course, different kinds of fruit have different levels of sugar. If you really want to eat plenty of fruit despite the lack of evidence that it is good for you, at least try to choose those lower in sugar.
      For example, 200 grams of 'healthy' orange juice has 20 grams of sugar, half of which is fructose. What a disaster.

      Actually, no. Fruit is what humans are biologically designed to seek, relish and thrive on, but you can miss out on the joy of eating fresh, ripe fruits.

  • @Alwpiano
    @Alwpiano 4 года назад

    They say you should try and avoid foods cooked in alcohol if you're a recovering alcoholic. I have to be honest though, the thought of a bolognese cooked with a dash of red wine wouldn't tempt me. I'd be far more interested in the meat, the tomato and other flavours. I think the alcohol mostly evaporates and the content is almost zero. The only thing that would remotely tempt me is smelling a red wine. I'm happy I'm in a good place now.

      I believe especially so if your drink of choice was beer or wine, the carbohydrates are what your body becomes used to, and you will start to crave them in liquid form.

    • @peachion2
      @peachion2 3 года назад

      Yes. Alcohol metabolizes as sugar. You quit drinking, the body craves sugar calories. Eat some dark chocolate.

    • @brysonct93
      @brysonct93 3 года назад

      Yes it really does because all alcohol is sugar once metabolized. I indulge in sweets whenever I try to quit because I'd rather be fat and happy instead of skinny and miserable. But fruits help too

      Every day I wake up sober and take my dog for a walk and feed my cat I cannot believe it; I have been trying to connect with people who need medical detox; that involves valium and probably detox program and or rehab. It took me months to find a place because my gp would not prescribe anything in the diazepam family -- antidepressants were useless. I was persistent because I was desperate; I needed a week and it made it possible to avoid the seizures I had before. I am so terrified that if I pick up a drink again the whole nightmare will begin again and I wont be there for the people I love and my little guys. Dont give up!!!!!!

    First day sober after my relapse. After been sober for 3 months, I thought I could just drink a bit during this summer. Got back I should have been fully focused on reading up to a exam I skipped before summer because I was on the bootle. The day have been completely terrible just laying in bed, so dead tired but not able to sleep. I have to make it this time or I will not pass my education and don't get my drivers license. I really don't want to get any of the terrible diseases alcohol can lead to. The last sober time, I had so many improvements in my life and things was looking good, why do I want to waste that?
