I’m an alcoholic but I want to stop. I know I have a long hard fight ahead of me, but I’ve got good people around me and I’m going to do it. When I stop, when will withdrawals begin?

I think that most symptoms start anywhere from a few hours to a day after your last drink. How much you drink combined with how long youve been doing it will impact the onset, length, and severity of withdrawals. People that have been drinking heavily for months or more than ten years can experience a nasty side effect called delirium tremens. Its like your nervous system and brain short circuit and cause a lot of neurological and psychological issues.

It depends how much you've been drinking. Withdrawal symptoms can start as soon as two hours after your last drink. Some people experience delays on that, but usually 2-3 days in you’ll really be feeling it.

I heard that it takes like two days you start to feel them. Thats gotta be brutal. Youre walking around and going through your day and then suddenly you start to feel sick. I know that alcohol withdrawals can be really nasty and make you feel horrible. I can imagine going through that in public.

You’re probably looking at up to 12 hours before withdrawals set in, although some people get them earlier. The whole withdrawal physically will be about a week or so, although psychologically it can take longer.

When I detoxed, my symptoms started right around the 30 hour mark. What my counselor told me though was that alcohol withdrawal symptoms can start anywhere from 24 to 48 hours after your last drink. Its usually only noticeable for people that have been heavy drinkers for years, but can impact anyone who is sensitive to it.
