I can tell you right now they get worse everytime. Look into "kindling." When this began a few years ago, it only took a few hours to get over the shakes and sweats after a night of bingeing. Now I can have considerably less than what I used to drink and it takes me days of pure hell to stop being an anxious, nervous basketcase. Please do remember this because I wouldn't want anyone to have to go through the way withdrawals can progress.
But what I wanted to say is congrats on 3 days. It is so hard to go cold turkey. I don't know how I can convince myself that withdrawal is hell so I don't have to do this again.
Stay strong.
