Can you share some extreme alcohol detox horror stories?

A friend of mine went through alcohol detox. He experienced intense sweating and nausea. The sweating was so profuse that he had to change his clothes several times a day. The nausea made it impossible for him to eat, and he lost a lot of weight in a short time. It was a very difficult and scary process for him.

Sure. One success story is about John. He was a heavy drinker for years. He finally decided to seek help and entered a detox program. With the support of counselors and his family, he managed to get through the tough withdrawal symptoms. He now leads a healthy life, free from alcohol, and has even started running marathons to keep himself in good shape.

Sure. One horror story is about a guy who drank way too much at a party. He thought he could drive home, but on the way, he passed out at the wheel. Luckily, he crashed into a fence and not another vehicle or a person. It was a huge wake - up call for him about the dangers of drunk driving.

A woman during alcohol withdrawal had seizures. It was extremely scary for her family. After that, she suffered from severe mood swings. One minute she was crying uncontrollably, and the next she was screaming in anger. The whole process of withdrawal was like a living nightmare for her.

A positive mindset is necessary too. Those who view detox as a step towards a better life tend to do well. Instead of seeing it as a punishment, they see it as an opportunity for growth. For instance, someone might focus on the future, like being able to be a better parent or having a more successful career without alcohol holding them back. And having a structured plan during detox, whether it's a diet plan, exercise routine or a daily schedule to keep busy, can also contribute to success.

Sure. There was a case where a person hoarded cats. They had dozens of cats in a small house. The smell was unbearable, and there was cat feces everywhere. It was an extremely unhygienic situation. Another extreme story was about a hoarder of old electronics. His place was filled with broken TVs, radios, and computers. There were wires all over the place, and it was a major electrical safety risk.

One extreme yelp horror story is about a nightclub. People were charged a high cover fee but once inside, the place was overcrowded and the air - conditioning wasn't working. There were also reports of fights breaking out and the security staff was nowhere to be seen. Another is about a catering service. For a big event, they provided food that was stale and some of it was even spoiled. Many guests got sick after eating. And they didn't refund any money when the client complained on Yelp. Also, there was a story about a tattoo parlor. The artist used unsterilized needles which led to an infection for the customer later on.

There was a hostal where the food provided was completely inedible. It smelled bad and some guests even got sick after eating it. The kitchen was also very dirty with old food scraps everywhere. It was just a very unpleasant experience overall for the guests who had expected at least decent food during their stay.

Well, there was an incident in a mall where a faulty escalator started moving in the wrong direction at a very high speed. People were falling over each other, bags and belongings were flying everywhere. Some got seriously injured. It was a nightmare situation for everyone in that part of the mall. There were cries for help and the mall staff took a while to stop the escalator.

Sure. There was a time when a child accidentally turned on the microwave with a small toy inside. The toy melted and released a really bad smell. It was a dangerous situation as the melted plastic could have released harmful fumes.
