What’s the best thing for alcohol withdrawal?

Picture this: You’ve been partying for two straight years now, and it feels like there’s no stopping you. Every weekend is a blur of booze-fueled adventures that you can’t recall on Monday morning. But then, something happens – maybe your health takes a hit, or you start to notice how alcohol is affecting your relationships.

Whatever the trigger may be, the sudden realization dawns upon you – You’re addicted! It’s time to quit drinking before things spiral out of control.

But here’s where the real trouble starts – If you’ve been boozing regularly and suddenly stop cold turkey (We warned ya) , alcohol withdrawal symptoms are bound to manifest themselves in various ways.

Are those unbearable shakes making it impossible for you to hold onto anything? Or perhaps finding it hard to focus as if every task needs undivided attention and rehab-like discipline?

Fret not because in this amusing guide (or not so amusing depending upon where exactly do we stand) we’re going over everything you need to know about dealing with alcohol withdrawal symptoms in a manner that will keep both yourself & others around entertained.

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome- What is it?

Before diving deep into what methods work best as an antidote against alcohol-withdrawals from Acamprosate / Naltrexone pills or simply by anaesthetising through their pals vodka-tonic; Let us understand why one goes through such extreme experiences due to merely trying to get sober!

Well friends Science got its own little twisted sense of humor and has ironically made our own brain play volleyball inside itself during these times. Yes literally..

Alcohol addiction rewires the pathways inside our brain which makes us gain ‘the habit’ towards alcoholism.Not surprisingly then when someone attempts abruptly cutting down on letting some taste buds go numb during weeknights; Brain then compensates with creating chaos in the nervous system due to reduced levels of alcohol hitting home values where our neurotransmitters reside.

This could start causing your trip down memory lane for upcoming nightmares, waking up confused and not knowing what’s happening around or well just annoyingly loud tinnitus; It varies per individual really. Now you know why all those smooth-talking therapists say ‘A brain like a rubber band’.

Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms

Now that we’ve addressed what alcohol withdrawal syndrome really is about let’s take a quick glance over more ways it wreaks havoc:

The timeline of experiencing symptoms depends on how much you were consuming before – generally anywhere between 6-30 hours after quitting ethanol intake can be enough to set them off. But they usually peak at 72 hours (a whole weekend without getting drunk sounds oddly creepy).

So why exactly do so many people caution us to try & stop? Let us break down these pesky little squirts once again:

Mild symptoms

  1. Trembling hands
  2. Sweating body
  3. Headache
  4. Insomnia (not catching sleep until wee hours & random panic attacks)

Moderate symptoms

  1. Confusion & disorientation
    2.Nausea and vomiting
    3.Anxiety
    4.High blood pressure

Severe symptoms

1.Delirium
2.Seizures
3.Hallucinations
4.Rapid heart palpitations (basically everything else combined)

May induce fatal harms(contrary to popular opinion): Hence as sincere advice please seek medical help if someone close or yourself feels seized by feelings fuled ergonomics, pun intended..Trying self-medications will only further make things worse(really really don’t attempt that)

Best Ways to Tackle This Menace Called Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome

Water – Yes plain ol’ water!

Our bodies are made up of 70% water, and dehydration is a significant contributor to alcohol withdrawal symptoms. So when trying to quit; increase yourself to consume lot more H20 than before(\~8-12 glasses).

Healthy Eating Habits

Now you might be thinking (eating while withdrawing seems impossible) but trust us it’s worth the effort & struggle.

Feed your body with nutritious foods such as fruits, green vegetables fortified cereals etc.! Don’t deny your brain the vitamins that are helping it cope better.

Professional Method

A professional medical practitioner will slowly wean you off of alcohol by gradually lowering the amount over time – this method ensures minimal damage to others involved and gets you in a safe space. We warn again not attempt self-medication!

Light Exercise Goes A Long Way!

While exerting yourself may sound irrational right-now, Trust us doing brisk walk at least twice daily can bring huge changes from enhancing mental clarity upto increasing dopamine levels naturally(less craving for another bottle wins!).

To briefly summarise what all we’ve talked about:

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome manifests itself through several physical symptoms, which can range from mild/moderate/severe(depends on how deep-seated addiction was). It would be best if one stayed away from amateur remedies & seek /trust institutions or well equipped professionals(unless want roommates gossiping after taking them out party next weekend since they couldn’t locate vital organs properly)

Combatting actual disease aggressively requires real-deal commitment.Hence deciding upon natural lifestyle improvements coupled with resources available around(remember kumbaya doesn’t work every time);to effectively nip this evil in there bud..unless ‘there’ means another bottle,couldn’t agree more!

Take charge of yourselves everybody – this isn’t ‘drinks galore’ anymore!
