Yep. I had to check myself into a local hospital for rapid detox back in May and havn't drank since. I know tisk tisk I didn't go through rehab but hey, I did it. They put me on IVs and a high dose of Ativan for discomfort. I slept through it thank god. When I'd try to quit by myself I would get cold sweats, the shakes, severe anxiety. But before I was admitted, I went to the ER where I was treated like **** and sent home. I followed up with my primary care dr the next day and he thought they were crazy for not admitting me because of how dangerous alcohol withdrawal is. He called a different local hospital and had me admitted that day and that's where I detoxed. If you're feeling these symptoms then get to a hospital (unless you don't want to quit). However if you do want to quit and MUST do it yourself then do not quit cold turkey. Taper down! It's much safer and less shock to your body. I'm a medical assistant and whenever a patient comes in from quitting alcohol we send them right to a hospital. Good luck with whatever your decision is!
