I've been a heavy drinker for years.  With the exception of the very infrequent 'dry out' sessions that last a couple of weeks every year, I have been drinking heavily every day for like 20 years.

I had a particularly heavy week last week and decided to quit for a while.  It's not the first time I've tried this.  My problem is that the withdrawal symptoms I experience get so hard to deal with that I always revert back to drinking and try to come down slowly.  The cycle repeats itself again and again.

This time I made it through the night, but puked and sweat and trembled all night long.  I puked like 6 times until my throat bled.

The next day I broke down and had a few drinks until I stopped sweating, shaking, and feeling nascious.

That night I didn't throw up but almost did a couple of times.  Sweats, shaking, diahrea...couldn't keep warm.  Soaked through 2 sets of pajamas.  No sleep.  No food.  Couldn't hold down more than a few sips of water.

Next day was sort of okay.  Paced a lot.  Really wanted a drink.  That night I didn't shake.  Sweating was mild.  Was able to eat a little and hold down some water.  Was a bit uncomfortable but I actually slept for about 2 hours straight 2 times.

I got up today and I feel great.  No sweats. No shakes. No Nausia.  My urine is turning back from sunset yellow to a more clear color (havn't seen that while sober in years!).  I was able to eat normally today and drank at least 3 liters of water.  I actually had a mostly solid bowel movement as well.

It's getting late and I actually feel tired and want to crawl into bed and sleep.  No desire to drink.

I feel like I am through the part.  It's been almost 3 days since my last drink.  Anyone ever hear of that sh*t coming back after seemingly going away.  I'm so comfortable and fresh today.  I pray that nightmare is over.

Thanks, Bob. Getting through those first few nights was so so so hard when I knew I could simply have a few snorts and feel better.
Thanks for your advice.

Thanks born2treat. I'm still feeling well. I hope if it comes back it won't last long. It really was torture for me.
I'm eating vitamins and proper food. I guess that's all I can do and just ride it out. I can semi stand the shakes. The cold sweats and nausia are the real horrific parts.

The sweating could be due to anxiety ,

i would say you can take 0.25mg alprazolam tab at night ,

this could be helpful

Excellent recovery but I'd still see a Dr. just to make sure you are going to be ok. I always advocate seeing doctors though it may not be just to play it safe.
