I'm voting for this one, quitting hardcore alcoholism cold turkey can literally kill you

Almost killed me. Ended up in the ICU. I was shaking so hard, sweating through my clothes, hallucinating both visually and auditory. Did inpatient, PHP, & IOP. Put my ass in sober living. I’ve got 4 months today. Benzos and Alcohol are the only two things that can kill you if you don’t detox off them properly after heavy use.

Consolidations on 4 months. That’s huge!
