I am detoxing from alcohol today?

Question

Anyone know any home remedies that helps stop the jitters?

Answer 1

First off, congratulations for WANTING to quit drinking!!

For the most part, when you deal with withdrawal, you'll just have to tough it out, but there are some things that can help cleanse out the toxins and may help to minimize some of the effects of withdrawal...

Drinking water will help to detox, and taking some supplements that work as cleansers may help as well. Specifically, Apple Cider Vinegar, Green Tea (decaffeinated), Chlorophyll (fantastic cleanser), and even good amounts of fiber and water helps some people (although it's not very comfortable for the lower level of detoxification you get).

All that being said, it's likely that the symptoms should stop relatively shortly after your last drink (it's never as long as it feels like it is). Your neurotransmitters don't take too terribly long to scream for something they are addicted to after you stop.

Another important thing to note is that no matter how bad it gets, taking more of the poison (and yes, alcohol is a poison) will only make the withdrawal last longer and will be harder on you in the long run. Good luck, and congrats again!

Answer 2

Alot of water, tea and a good diet with low fat, low carbs and more protein.  Your jitters should stop after a few days you need to flush everything out of your system and it takes awhile, but keep pushing the fluids.  Good Luck to you.

Answer 3

Lots of water and a good multi-vitamin will help the toxins get out faster and make them pass more quickly.  Also, foods high in carbs (bread, pasta).
