      To feel better you should try intermittent fasting, healthy diet and exercise. The reason why you're not sleeping is because your brain is so use to alcohol, when you take alcohol away from a a drinker it's like a shock to the neurological system. Try some natural supplements and it gets better day by day.

      Can someone explain to me if this is what is happening to me? I do not think I have alcoholism but I went on spring break 1 week ago. I drank from 8am to 5am everyday for a week I was always either tipsy or atleast drunk. I have a dad that was an alcoholic but he is not anymore thankfully. To give you perspective im a 6’2 200 lb male and was drinking about 1.25 Liters of hard liquor (bacardi/vodka) each day if not more (just out of what spring break is traditionally). I got back home 2 days ago and haven’t drank in 2 days and i am having absolutely terrible nightmares that I have never had. I can only sleep 2 hours at a time each night because I wake up to heartdropping nightmares and it is exhausting to me. I took a nap just now and woke up very sweaty and scared for my life but I was just simply sleeping in my house very safe. I have also had night sweats that have made me want to take showers in the middle of the night at 2 AM because of how sweaty I was. I have never felt this kind of feeling in my life. Im not a regular drinker I may drink once every 3-4 weeks previous to the spring break I had wrapped up quite literally 2 days ago.

      Sorry to say this, but a person that is able to drink 1.25 liters of hard alcohol a day must have built tolerance over years. Otherwise these amounts of drinking would not be possible. What you are experiencing are clearly alcohol withdrawal syndromes. I know these nightmares, I know how unexplainable they are to someone who has not experienced them. This is tuff. Really tuff. As someone who has been battling those things for years, I only can give you the hope that it will get better, you got to get through those hard days and nights. The most important thing is, that you must not forget in the future how you feel right now. Drink as much water as you can, as it helps your body the best! If your heart rate or blood pressure are high, do not hesitate to get medical attention. Withdrawing alcohol with no professional supervision can get very dangerous! Stay sober. That poison is just not worth risking your health. Don't feel ashamed about the situation and talk to close people around it if possible. All the best to you!

    I bought three things over the counter that sort of helped. Generic nyquil cold and flu and the caplets and not the bottle liquid, generic Dramamine, it's from motion sickness but it will help your stomach a little in the mornings and for the first few days depending on how much you drink and what you drink I guess. The last one is controversial because I like the taste of beer but some people do not like the taste of beer. So I buy near beer. I may not buy that brand put out by the cheapest brand I can find off Amazon or wherever. So if you take maybe one NyQuil and take a 12 oz can of near beer or no beer, this one has no alcohol and is on Amazon. Put the can into a bottle and then mix just water with it so that's not so strong tasting and then if you're having withdrawal symptoms then definitely take the NyQuil as I mentioned. You don't want to do this for a long time because you don't want to get addicted to the NyQuil cabinets and the near beer. Your belly might be like mine and Phillips set after a binge. That's where the over the counter generic motion sickness tablets come in handy. I mean you can go to your doctor and get something for stomach flu or nausea but you'd have to explain to your doctor exactly what you're doing and tell your life story so I just prefer to use over the counter. Just do this a little while until the withdrawal symptoms subside and the reason for the NyQuil and not DayQuil cabinets it's because you do want a tiny bit of alcohol in your system but you don't want to put it in your system the same way you have been which is through a liquid. And it helps again withdrawal no I'm talking about somebody who's coming from beer drinking perspective. When it comes to the harder stuff it's probably not going to work so easily because your body is just used to a higher amount of alcohol

      hey Brian, you really should get medical support to cease drinking when its
      heavy drinking long term as it can be risky to go cold turkey.
      I would talk to a doctor they can give you a benzodiazepine for the anxiety,
      and also try to eat really well to support your body and nervous system,
      B vitamins are important are you supplementing?
