detox

I am in my late twenties, and for the last 11 years have had 10-12 beers everyday.  I am in my 72 hour of self detoxification and am finding it very difficult to go to the restroom in either fashion.  Is this a normal effect from cleansing my body.  Also, can you give any indication how long the night sweats and irritablilty might last.  In any event I am determined that my addiction is physical not mental and I will never have a drink again!

Chad:
so sorry to here about your misfotuneate expierence with the zinc/mag supplements. I totally agree with any one running this stuff by their doc. first. now most docs will just laugh at you, but willlet you know if your puttin yourself in danger when it comes to vitmen supplements of any kind. I've had good result with copper, zink,mag,& manganese. one thing to keep in mind about supplements of any kind is not to overdo them! at the very least, your going to wind up with some of the most expensive urine in the world!
about turning 30--my 20s were the worst decade of my life! now my
30s were the best so far. my 40s were almost as good as my 30s. now i'm 50--- **** i'm an old fart & half the time it's great. Don't get caught up in the "all the time i've wasted using drugs" stuff. If some of it hadn't been *fun* you wouldn't have done it in the first place. if you are like me, you just didn't know when the party was over. (ever had the host ask you to leave-'cause everyone else had?) at the age of 43 i realized i'ld ****** up just one more thing! See i never planned to live past 40. I'ld been clean about 4 years when this happened. my first reaction was to run around like a chicken with my head cut off, no 401k, not enough advancement in carrer,no stock portfolio...

Chad: If your 30s (clean) aren't the best decade thus far, I will
buy you a hype full of what ever poision you desire. Now see you
do have one reasion to go 10 more years. all that other straight
people stuff wll come to pass when you are ready for it. Right
now just do the old one day at a time stuff.

i used to wake bewidered at
my actions and this world around me.
i was a small person in a world getting smaller.

now i awake bewondered to
a world that grows ever larger to me
the smaller and more humble i become.

see the possibilitys-
need you, need everone

I have been following your post with this guy. I even made the comment to my family what a great person you are for trying to help. Please don't beat yourself up. I can't see a thing you did wrong. You have gone way way out of your way to be helpful.
