hi steve
I admire your courage. I haven't detoxed from alcohol, but I have from klonopin, not a lot, but enough to understand the cold sweats and the shakiness. it was a *****. now I only take the drug when I feel like I am dying cause I don't ever want to go thru that again. so that is my advice. really experience this so that you remember it so that you never want to do it again. do you have support? have you thought of contacting AA to help you through this until you can get into treatment? welcome to psych central. you will find we have several forums where you can post about your concerns and receive feedback from other members. you will get a lot of support here. again, welcome
