hi below in a link that should help you understand what she going through and how you can help her. <link> just copy link into google to open and read. as for eating she will eat when she is hungry but do make sure she drinks and stays hydrated. but just get her to stay on track for the next 4 weeks its an important time if she is going to stay away from alcohol and get her to start counting the days she has been off alcohol its a great way for staying on track and going to aa meetings this way she will be getting group help and contacts for even more help. do hope this her you and her. good luck
how important is food during alcohol withdrawals. my daughter is going cold turkey on alcohol withdrawal and is very sick. her heart doc told me today to keep her on track and not leave her for 3-4 days. she is not eating much and i wondered if food would help her recovery. and is it dangerous to go cold turkey instead of a slow tapering of alcohol? she is 35 and her drinking has been going on for years. 15 drinks in a day
