Listen to PAUL TURNER on u tube alcohol advice video.look it up on u tube.YOU CAN LIVE ALCOHOL FREE OR SLOWLY CUT DOWN THE DAILY AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL your choice.

I care very much for each of every one on this site. I have been here a long time. My son has been a victim of many years of abusive relationships almost killed due to his irrational decisions due to AUD. Black out binge drinking .

NO ONE deserves to live with addiction and there is help you must fight for yourself! 

Alway fight. It will eventually become easier on medication once the brain has had time to be untrained by the opiate receptors alcohol creates. The more you drink alcohol the more the opiate receptors . Slow down cut down the opiate receptors will recede.

I really don't think billy that you will sleep well without some benzos or something like Benadryl....antihistimines make some people tired.

My friend takes Benadryl during dry outs..i always took Benzos.

Yes, the us has Thiamine but I have had a lot of anxiety/sleeplessness and I also think you should get some L-Theanine and Chamomile tea....these will definetly help you relax if you don't have benzos.

Yes, the first 72 hours are the crucial time to hope we dont have a seizure. But, it takes a couple of WEEKS to regulate back to a normal sleep cycle.....I have been thru this many times....so do WHAT YOU CAN to achieve the best sleep.

Strongly suggest the L-Theanine (supplement) and Chamomile tea....and if you are in the US...Look for "OLLY Restful sleep" these gummy bears really work for putting you to sleep.

You women seem obsessed with flatulence. You'll be telling next, that in your younger days you tried lighting them.
