Just so much has happened to me this couple of months and I blame my alcoholism more than anything so I decide to go cold turkey with it. Dump a bottle of vodka in the sink and just drinking water and hoping I can beat it. So any advice on going cold turkey I should know?

Honestly, I don't know. That kinda why I'm scared since I never been thru that in my life so I don't know what to expect.

Yea, going double my workout routine, and trying to find a job asap. Also, hate to say it by going to do also the lazy thing and game to my heart content just not going to eat a lot of greasy food as I do it.

If you are a seriously heavy drinker to the point of an alcoholic, going cold turkey is pretty dangerous as it can cause things like convulsions and hallucinations.

Are they a way to counteract that?

I think you can get prescribed medication to help with it, but I'd consult a doctor either way before going full cold turkey.

Depending on how much you drank, it may be best to detox at a hospital. I would drink about two liters of vodka per night and I had to go to inpatient rehab for four days, then outpatient for two months. This was in September.

I went through massive sugar withdrawals, too. There's a bunch of sugar in liquor, so get some candy.
