Man... pretty early to be hitting the sauce, don't ya think?
Question for anyone... does anyone know the differences between Alcohol withdrawal and heroin withdrawal?
I'll answer for you. If you are physically addicted to alcohol... when you detox... you can die a pretty horrible death... seizures that can't be controlled(statis seizures),etc. Most people who go into treatment will be placed on a slow, metered withdrawal via IV drip.
Heroin and other Opioids? You get sick.... Really sick. Similar to flu symptoms but magnified severely. You also have severe restlessness all over your body and a host of other symptoms... but it's not potentially fatal. You wish you were dead... but you aren't going to die.
How do i know this?... one co-worker of mine is an alcoholic. He's been detoxed medically 4 times.
The Opioid withdrawal? personal experience. I was on Pain medication for a long time. I had a back problem that required a fusion surgery and spent two years trying to avoid having my spine fused. By the time I finally did get the fusion, I had been on Vicodin EX for over two years. i had complications with the surgery and my recovery was slow. my surgeon referred me to a Pain Management Clinic, because because of the tolerance I built up to the vicodin, it wasn't effective in treating my pain. They put me on a Fentanyl Patch. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is many times more powerful than vicodin. I was on that for about 6 months and doing physical therapy. After that period of time, I noticed that i really didn't have much pain anymore, but was afraid to take the patch off for fear of the pain returning. in short, I didn't know whether the lack of pain was due to the therapy and the natural healing of my body, or the patch.
The last straw was when I had the other members of my band over to have a practice because we scheduled a gig for the first time since I had the surgery. I was so slow and sloppy in my guitar playing that I couldn't keep up. That night after the guys left. I peeled off the patch and flushed the rest down the toilet. I cold turkeyed myself and went through 4 days of a living hell. But I came out the other side with a totally different perspective on addiction. Addiction isn't a "weakness". It's a physical and/or psychological dependence on a drug. Addicts aren't always some street person who made bad decisions. I will tell you this... during my self detox... if someone would have had a syringe full of heroin handy... i would have taken it.. I know I would have. That's the power of the drug.
Alcohol is a drug... just like heroin, Meth, cocaine or any other. If you think that it's different.. you are deluding yourself.
Finally.. when i was a younger man... I smoked a little pot here and there... withdrawal symptoms? ummmm... none.
the difference is i've never seen anyone high on pot get into a bar fight or drive the wrong way on a highway.

Having DETOXED both heroin addicts and alcoholics in the NAV, given my druthers I'd rather go though heroin withdrawls that alcohol withdrawls.
The pain and suffering harden alcoholics go though on the path to DETOX is horrible.
They have to be put on watch to guard against suicide, they're often terrified and apparently also in a lot of pain.

Drugs aea a crime against th LAW
Nerve cells are usually covered with a separate fatty cell layer. The development of this covering usually occurs some time after birth, one of the reasons that newborns need some nine to fifteen months before they learn to walk. Conduction of impulses down these nerve cells before the fatty insulating cells are in place are at best funky.
Alcohol nonspecifically penetrates these fatty nerve insulating cells rendering their impulse transmissions once again, funky. So do methocarbamal and carisoprodol, generics for Robaxin and Soma, used medicinally as skeletal muscle relaxants to quiet injured muscles down, reducing the spasm and the pain. They are also used frequently as adjuncts to increase the high experienced with other drugs of abuse.
Morphine and its derivatives, heroin, oxycodone, meperidine, directly block the transmission of pain impulses in the brain. It also depresses the brain center that regulates breathing. Enough morphine on board and breathing stops. Simple as that. Kaput. Finito. Mourir.
The benzodiazepines, oxazepam, diazepam, lorazepam, chlordiazepoxide, alprazalalazam, block anxiety. Apparently they resemble an endogenously produced substance, something the brain produces normally on its own, that modulates and controls the organism's fear and anxiety levels.
The brain is a highly sophisticated organ. It takes in and correlates all of the sensory input presented to it by the organism's environment. Whether its warm, wet, cold, light, dark, the ground is level, whether the fruit hanging from the nearby tree is ripe and edible, ancient ancestrally whether the nearby female primate is in season and receptive, or whether that leopard crouching nearby in the grass is sleeping off a previous meal or is hungrily eyeing you and its time to get the Hell out of where you presently are and proceed rapidly to a much safer place.
Some of the drugs of abuse, specifically LSD, interfere precisely with the brain's correlation and interpretation of reality. That's why some of its early users thought they were perfectly fine sitting down in the middle of a six lane in front of some onrushing eighteen wheelers and they somehow were not going to be hurt as a result.
Evolution is a wonderful thing. You stay alive long enough to pass your genetic information on to another generation, or if you're silly, frivolous, and wasteful with your time and activity, and end up being splatted on a road surface somewhere or a meal for some lucky leopard, you don't. Nature used to deal with Democrats and Liberals rather harshly. Today we, unfortunately, are forced to tolerate them.
