My husband was drinking for over the 15 years. He was drinking enormous quantity of beer during the day, and he was drunk almost every day. I have managed to persuade him to go to alcohol rehabilitation therapy. He did that because me and our kids. Now he is experiencing delirium tremors. Why is that?
Delirium tremors are the usual effect of an alcohol withdrawal. During his drinking he was poisoning his body. There are toxic effects of alcohol on the brain and nervous system. That is why the delirium tremors occur. The involuntary shake of the body or the limbs is just one of many possible symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, but it is not life treating and it will pass.
First of all congratulations on convincing your husband to stop drinking after 15 years and definitely you are a brave woman since you have managed to stay with him although he was drinking for long 15 years of your marriage.
The symptoms of withdrawal can be very nasty and they usually depends on how long person was abusing alcohol and how much. Since it was a long period of time it is possible that your husband is going to need some time before tremors and other symptoms completely stop. But this is fiscal and it will pass. The bigger problem is state of mind.
If he has decided to stay silver than this will be easy part and it is up to you to show your support one more time.
