Yes, it does. Have you heard of PAWS (Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome)? It sounds like you are experiencing some of that. It helps to understand that what you are feeling is normal. Time will heal it. Google PAWS and read what the symptoms are. When I was feeling that way, I was at a loss as to WHAT the heck is going on??? But once I understood, it helped. Not to minimize what is going on bc is just plain sucks, but when you get a cold, your nose is going to run and you're going to cough and feel like crap. Well, while your body is adjusting to NOT having alcohol, your might have compulsion, sweating, crying, euphoria, very active dreams, or dizziness. What you are experiencing, in my opinion, are just symptoms of your body adjusting. Give it time and just hang on. It does get better. . . a whole lot better.
