Question 1

how can someone get sober with out having to go to a rehab center?

Accepted Answer

Try AA: Depending on how much you have been drinking or using an addictive drug, you can stop it without medical detoxification, and begin to attend a 12 step support group each day to get you on the path to sobriety. If you have already tried this and failed multiple time then an inpatient rehab setting is the next step, and often successful. The advantage is you are away from temptation.

Question 2

how to sober up quickly?

Accepted Answer

No shortcut: Body burns off about 20 gm of alcohol per hour and there is no safe way to make it go faster.
Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 3

does coffee sober you up?

Accepted Answer

Not really: It may help counterbalance some of the dehydration and sedation effects but it does not get you close to normal.

Question 4

how could i get sober if i'm alcoholic?

Accepted Answer

Stop drinking: First and foremost, and this can be dangerous in smoke drinkers - if you get morning shakes or severe anxiety, you may need medical help. Use of support groups, including aa, smart recovery, women for sobriety, lifering secular recovery and others. Many people need formal treatment programs which are available in most places. Talk to your doctor about a referral. Your family may need its own help.

Question 5

is there any way to sober up more quickly while being drunk?

Accepted Answer

Sober up: The rate at which your liver eliminates alcohol is constant, so you cannot sober up any faster when you are drunk.

Question 6

what will happen to hard drug addicts after they become sober?

Accepted Answer

Some of them: become solid citizens, become doctors, lawyers, judges, politicians, business executives, housewives, truck drivers and everything else under the sun, and resume the productive lives they had before their addictions.  Others continue with other kinds of addictive behaviors, or just continue being the same kind of human beings, but without the drug ("dry drunks.")

Question 7

been sober for 2months now my face changes so much. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alcohol has aot of hidden calories which causes weight gain in many persons. When you remove those calories there is a weight loss that depending on severity will result in facial change. If you were taxing your liver you may have been developing small spider like veins on the cheek and nose, these too may resolve or lessen as the liver heals.

Question 8

do you know if there are success stories in staying sober after rehab?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I know quite a few success stories of staying sober after rehab.
But treatment doesn't end after rehab.

Most people with drug or alcohol dependance are helped by ongoing support to maintain sobriety.  That can include ongoing care to treat depression or anxiety, 12 step groups, therapy, and a healthy lifestyle.  Don't forget about exercise, doing things that create a sense of purpose and meaning.

Question 9

after becoming sober, will i want to start taking drugs to replace the alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The addictive personality means that you can easily fall prey to substitute drugs especially those that give you similar effects and your best recourse here is to just say no.  I have good results in helping overcome cravings by using lavendar, peppermint and citrus essential oils in combo inhaled from the hand.  The lavender is strong as Xanax (alprazolam)  www.Medac4u.Com.

Question 10

i feel more like the real me when i'm drunk/stoned than i do when i'm sober. is this weird?

Accepted Answer

I would call it sad : Before i would refer to it as "weird". This suggests that you are in an intoxicated  (alcohol &/ or drugs) state a fair amount. This may also mean that you feel more disinhibited when intoxicated. Please remember that the effects of your drug & alcohol use are likely to catch up with you at some time.
