addiction and soon determine how long it takes to detox from alcohol. Nevertheless,
if you have firmly decided to give detox a try then let us check through some stuff
that will help you endure the blitz of withdrawal symptoms and likewise reduce
the time it takes to detox completely.
Take a leave
If you are feeling that exhausted
you should try to obtain a certificate of sickness and take at least a week's
leave. Your employer would understand that it is better for you to leave than
to work if you’re unproductive, and that they may get a revitalized and more
efficient staff after.
Be safe on the road
You may be feeling light-headed
and trembling some time. You may drift off on the wheels or may meet with mishaps
on the road. So try not to drive on the wheels and walk slowly and cautiously
to avoid accidents along the way.
Take plenty of water
Drinking a lot of fluids will

the withdrawal symptoms associated with it. You can take plenty of water, tea,
fruit juice, vegetable soup and so on.
Protein
You need some extra energy to endure
the detox symptoms and that can be had from proteins. Concentrated protein is
also light on stomach, but delivers the required energy. So have some, egg, fish,
or chicken soup and just swallow the onslaught of detox symptoms.
Whole grain
Your metabolism is adapted to the
readily available fuel from alcohol, and when it cannot find it in your system
you start feeling the craving. Nevertheless, if your blood sugar level is sufficient
and does not vary significantly then the craving can subside. This can be done
by eating by sufficient amount of fiber rich whole grains. The carbohydrate in
them provides instant fuel and the fiber slows down the process of digestion thus
stabilizing your blood sugar level.
