What are side affects of alcohol detox?


I'm going into alcohol detox/outpatient care. How long after being sober will I begin to feel better?
I want and need to stop drinking. It was all fun and games at first, but when your killing 30 years a night, this shit just isn't alright anymore. Cutting down doesn't work neither does trying to do it by myself. On monday I'm going to a outpatient detox place. I know it's going to suck for a while, I just want to know when the cravings will go down and I will start to feel like things are looking up. Does it take weeks? months? I'd like an answer from someone who has been through this personally. Thanks for reading this.

How long do symptoms from alcohol detox take? I have been feeling a lot of strange symptoms the past few days.?
I would sit around and watch TV and drink beer for four or five hours a night. I did binge drink while watching football all day long on Sundays and then try to recover on Monday night by having a few more. There were times where I would wake up really late in the day and manage until evening. Than I would drink five or six more a night. Maybe I would take two days off a week at most. Anyway, the other day, this being the holidays I got really depressed and stayed drunk from Saturday night to Tuesday night. On Wednesday I woke up at noon and tried to get through the day. But felt horrible. I was not sick to my stomach or anything like that, but did not want to eat anything. In the evening i manage a small meal. I did not have a headache. Just felt like crap. That night I had three small cans of beer, because I felt disorientated and very uncomfortable and thought if I just had a little compared to what I had drunk the three days before that it would relieve the symptoms a little bit. It didn't really. The next day I still had the shakes and the chills and the sweats. I thought, " What the hell have I done to myself?" I could hardly sleep. I have fallen asleep well past 5am for the past two nights. Most of my sleep has been off and on from midnight to 5am and then I will sleep until 9am then lay down for a nap fro around 1pm to 3pm. I think tonight might be better though. I hope anyway. There is one more thing thats bothering me. Whenever I drank a lot before, I would usually feel physically normal by 5 or 6pm. But since I have stopped I feel a little unsure of myself when I turn my head or walk. I can walk fine, just I feel a little uneasy about it it initially. Not like I could just run down the street like before. My vision seems to be a little strange, when I go to get up or turn my head. I don't get dizzy, just feeling off visually. After a nice large dinner tonight, I felt a little panicky and just not right after my meal . The feeling is like I am still a little drunk visually. I can see fine, just things seem off a bit. I am feeling a little better now an hour and a half after dinner. I did some weight training yesterday. It felt good, so I thought I was going to be okay this morning, but the same odd feeling returned this morning and has been there throughout the day, most of the time when I walk. It is like I am unsure of myself. Does that make any sense?How long will this feeling last?How do I get rid of it for good, FAST? What is the reason for it? Is insomnia part of detox and how long does it last? I am feeling a bit strange visually because of the detox? I am committed to not drinking anymore. I have confessed to my friends that I have a drinking problem. I don't want to touch it anymore and feel extremely confident in not going back that way again, Not even a beer will touch my lips, EVER. I just want to feel normal again.

How do I get answers on govt sponsored home alcohol detox. Friend done it in Jan 2007 & sounds highly suspect!
Friend went on home detox in January 2007 & is now drinking heavily again. Know she is not being honest with us but need to know the info the nurse would have given her. For instance, would the nurse have told her she could drink socially after a time? I don't believe a word she tells me these days. My brother was an alcoholic and wouldn't have known the truth if it had bitten him.Friend allegedly went on government sponsored home alcohol detox in January 2007, stopped for 3 months & is now drinking heavily again. Know she is not being honest with us but need to know the info the nurse would have given her. For instance, would the nurse have told her she could drink socially after a time? She's been 'drinking to forget' since she was 11 and is now 34 . Also, would a health professional embarking on a radical course like this not want to meet the family friends to see the support group? She only told us she was had a problem last November, 2 months later she's rattling with medication? While on the subject, think she has a pretty serious drug problem too. I just get the feeling now that the truth is something she only has a fleeting memory of. My patience is wearing thin as I've had to deal with this in my family too and it's the lies that test me.
