First, thanks to all of you who have helped me so far. I really appreciate the people on this board.
My AH is really trying to quit drinking, and this past week he's cut his alcohol intake by about 3/4, only drinking about 4 beers a night.
If he drinks, he vomits, and if he doesn't drink, he vomits! Is this a common withdrawal symptom?
Yesterday I posted a thread about his extreme agitation. Yesterday was one of the worst days of MY LIFE. He was a psychopath. He was constantly shifting between anger, crying, heavy sighing, every emotion (except a good one!!) I was scared to death - I didn't know what to do - or what to say. He ended up calming down and eventually sleeping last night. He is feeling good today but still vomiting.
I think the problem yesterday was not the absence of alcohol, but rather the fact that without alcohol he did not sleep at all the night before. He was totally exhausted yesterday, and feeling anxiety from the withdrawal too.
Does this sound familiar?
