My brother has been a drinker for as long as I remember. He’s going to come and live with me to try and get off it. How long with that take?

He’ll go into withdrawal shortly after he has his last drink (or shortly after he wakes up after that). There’s 3 stages of withdrawal, that usually last up to week in total. It could be longer if he’s been a severe drinker.

Usually around 5 – 7 days but if he comes off a huge bender just before going clean then it might stretch out a few more days. Remember the cravings won’t go away then, that’s just the physical withdrawal.
