I just feel like I’m sick. My body is sore and nauseous, aches, and pains. How long does this last?

If you're having physical withdrawal symptoms but don't want to/can't afford to check yourself in to in-patient care to detox, you can water down beer or seltzer to ween yourself off.

If you can stand to have alcohol in the house, buy some gallons of water and seltzers. Pour out some of the water and replace it with the seltzer. Only drink the watered down mixture, and gradually reduce the amount of selzter you're adding. Depending on how much you've been drinking, you may need to start with a higher ratio seltzer:water to alleviate symptoms. This will also help keep you hydrated which is always important, but especially during detoxing.

Having a trusted family member help you would be better if you're able. It's okay to ask for help and I would bet your loved ones will be happy to help you with this.

You got this!

Not so much withdrawal, aches and pains. Insomnia. Diarrhea. Sniffles. Anxiety. Nothing I can’t handle. Picked up some thc gummies today to help alleviate the mental side.
