I stopped alcohol(not completely) thc and vaping. I drank daily in 2018 and I started drinking less through 2020. I got it down to once a week or less. I was drinking 100proof vodka. I started having to drink so much id either blackout or get angry. The whole reason I was drinking was to feel better. I now know that was a mistake. But that defeated the purpose so at that point I was ready to quit anyway and thankfully that was easy. I drink beer occasionally and I feel buzzed but nothing else.t… read more
How do withdrawal experiences differ when quitting alcohol, THC, and vaping?
Withdrawal experiences vary significantly depending on the substance you're stopping. Each one affects your body differently, and the symptoms can range from uncomfortable to potentially dangerous.
Alcohol withdrawal can be the most serious. If Show Full Answer
There is wisdom in asking your md. The frank answer to your question is no but the related answer is yes. Here is why. I went cold turkey on effecor. Big mistake. It's as close to an addiction as I ever want to be. It MUST be tapered with MD, preferably with psychiatrist. Neurochemistry is sort of their expertise so booze might well fall into that. Delirium tremens is no joke so be sure that's being addressed in terms of avoiding it.
I felt the power of nicotine once when I chewed tobacco for about two weeks. Wife was unhappy I started that habit so I quit but I felt the withdrawal and was startled. I didn't use it long enough to have any real ramifications.
Drinking lots of booze often depletes certain nutrients, especially vitamin B12 that is essential for brain function, folate, thiamine, A and B6.
A daily vitamin might correct this but a chemistry panel blood draw by MD will be definitive. Either way, a multivitamin probably won't hurt. I know zero about vaping except it is a chemistry cocktail.
All this is what you'd call barber shop advice. Every human is different so running any supplement, herb food, etc by your doc is important. This is even more important since you have certain medical issues to account for. You wouldn't go running out to buy insulin because someone said you need it. Same with addressing medical and psychiatric issues.
