hows it going?

I... was waiting for something to happen. Nothing did. I even slept normally. If anything I was slightly more anxious than normal. Any symptoms I had were overshadowed by not waking up hungover, and those were gone in 2 days.

I don't think 10 standard drinks in a day is enough to cause serious withdrawal? I even looked up some studies and found only 10% of the heaviest drinking patients in rehab even have serious symptoms. I think my other withdrawal was caused by other drugs I quit at the same time.

I would have posted earlier but I thought it was just delayed. Nope.

What were you drinking mostly? Beer? Hard liquor?

Gin, transitioned to chardonnay at the end of it.

All I know is I've been told to cut back on drinking and not go cold turkey. I'm still drinking each day for this reason. Good luck man.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you are a really heavy drinker tbh, like drinking every hour of the day. But you can work out how many standard drinks you consume in a day and go from there. I just had 3 hours of getting as drunk as I could daily.

This might not be ethical but if you have insurance just go to rehab anyways and don't pay your bill. That's what I did because they tried to dick me around with incompetent billing practices. I have an outstanding bill of over $10k for my rehab. If it hits my credit, it hits my credit. I'm still sober and I still got what I needed.

My only regret is not stealing from rehab, tbh.

I still am having mild "cravings", but these are mostly habit. Like, now I'm just bored at nighttime.
