I had experience with drugs withdrawals and they lasted for about a week but it could last longer. It is the same with alcohol. How harsh are your husband’s withdrawal symptoms?
Has he been a heavy drinker or not?
Can you explain what kind of symptoms he’s having?

I understand what he must be going through. Be strong and be beside him although he may act as if he didn’t need you.

6-10 days is bullshit. I am 20 days dry and I feel like shit. I threw up from the 6th to 10th day! The symptoms are waning, but I still am tired all the time, depressed, almost uncontrollable urges. They are getting better though, so tell him to keep it up.

P.S. I also quit smoking at the same time so that might have made things worse.

It took me a month before I was feeling better and I was a really heavy drinker! The only was I got through it was the love and supports of my friends! I believe u can still be sick if u smell the stuff!!

Hi,

I am a recent joiner. I was recently dumped by my former fiance 1 week before xmas who suffers from alcoholism. I was also made aware that there is such a thing as drydrunk syndrome, I was wondering how long this symptom can actually last, and what are the signs of the person going through it. Besides of which I have experienced and seen alot of anger within him, Is this normal?

Sincerely, Evie

Hi,

My name is Eve and I am a new member with some questions. I was recently engaged to my fiance who suffers from alcoholism. He dumped me 1 wk before xmas of this year. But alot of stuff does not make sense, he was soo angry and full resentments towards me, he even threatened to phone the police over dropping off a xmas gift. This I know is not him. Is there such a thing as drydrunk syndrome? And if so how long does it last?

Sincerely, Eve
