Hi Pete

You should definitely see a doctor.

I experienced something similar. There's a process called "kindling". Basically, and for as yet unknown reasons, withdrawal from alcohol gets worse each and single time. This is not exclusive to alcoholics, most people who regularly drink alcohol experience in-between withdrawal on some level; many people who do not have an official alcohol problem -whatever that means- decide to stop drinking for this very reason.

congrats on your decision, keep in touch
