Addiction Question
Hello all - I've been a lurker here for the past year, hoping to gain some strength from others but honestly been pretty passive about quitting drinking. I've never really thought I was so deep that I had a true addiction problem. However, the past few months I've had trouble sleeping occasionally - night sweats followed by the chills, all night, resulting in my bed being almost soaked. I recently noticed (maybe the past two-three times this has happened) that it happens on the first sober night after a several-night bender. For example, this happened on Wednesday night (7/6), my first sober night after 7 consecutive nights drinking.
Am I experiencing withdrawl symptoms, and if so, does that mean I am in fact addicted??
