Alcohol Alcohol withdrawal at home

[dyingperson]

I dont want to go to detox or a hospital. I've been drinking like one four loko a day for a week, idk if that's dangerous or it's just giving me anxiety and nervous shakiness, but its uncomfortable as hell. I have a small bag of heroin I just did, I do not have enough money to get addicted to heroin so I just do it like once a week, is this good for withdrawal symptoms? It made me throw up but I couldn't take it, I kept falling down last night so I'm in pain and withdrawing and I need to get up and be able to do stuff like clean up. Fuck this, I'm done drinking for a while and getting my life together, but is there any comfort meds I can get without going to detox or a hospital?

Hang on - that drinking schedule has been for one week?

EDIT ok I've read your post history - you won't be getting alcohol withdrawal from one week of drinking, extremely unlikely anyway

Agree with @ageingpartyfiend

I’m not an expert. But I was a severe alcoholic/coke/opi addict for most of my teenage/adult life up until January 2023.

Unless there’s previous history with alcohol or opioids you’re not sharing.. I’m a little surprised you’re waking up feeling shaky after 1 four loko a night, a week.

Do you have an anxiety disorder? Are you going through a reallllllly stressful time in your life at the moment?

Correct me if I’m wrong here, please.
Trying to get rid of very mild anxiety/shakiness, from what you’re assuming could be from alcohol, by trying to counteract that feeling using heroin, is like attempting to hammer a nail into a wall with an axe - in my opinion.

You’ll eventually get the nail through the wall. But the damage you’re going to cause while trying will far surpass your actual intent.

It’s overkill and completely unnecessary, in my personal opinion.

I feel like I’m speaking sense but always welcome someone with more knowledge than me to step in and give a different perspective.

Put the h down. That’s not a beast you’re gonna want to fight… quite possibly for many years to come .. and then some.

That is good news! I may not have been keeping as much track over my drinking, maybe 2 four a day, but fuck that's good news. I still feel I might be going through mild withdrawal, but I also when I did heroin last night I took enough that I couldn't walk and kept falling down getting converted in bruises and shit, feel like I got my ass kicked which sucks. That's why I kinda ended up using the other bag this morning, I couldn't take the pain I could barely walk

Can I ask what’s going on in your life that brought you to the here and now - using h to get rid of mild anxiety from what you thought was alcohol?

I’m not judging. Trust me … ohhh the shit I’ve done ..

Even if you drank 12 beer a day for 7 days, you would not need any form of medical intervention (I feel there are exceptions to basically everything.. but this isn’t what you’re going through)
You’d feel like a bag of dog shit for maybe two days after… but that’s just a classic hangover after a week of binge drinking.

The h you’re not used to taking is probably what’s fucking with you. Oops I got hurt last night.. now I’ll take some more. Ouch! Today sucks too.. now I’ll take some more h.

You don’t realize how quickly “oops” becomes “oops.. just stoled money from my best friend/parents/random person on the street/etc..”

You don’t know what dope sickness is. Thank whatever God there is, put the shit down, and walk away knowing you escaped and don’t look back.


Or don’t.

I assume you’re an adult. Your choices are yours. Certain choices lead to consequences you never fucking dreamed of. If you’re prepared to make that your life, carry on.

My suggestion would be to figure out why you’re trying to cope with booze and h.. and learn far healthier ways to go about it.

Please be well

If you’re opiate naive and you keep doing this to yourself.. alcohol is going to be the least of your problems.

Trust me when I say this to you.

Very few people are able to “recreationally” use heroin. Many die trying though.
