sleepless nights
Like many others I drank a few nights a week or sometimes not at all, but eventually I found myself back in blackout mode. I was drinking about a bottle of red wine on the "moderate" nights and at least two bottles plus a few shots of vodka on the blackout nights. I stopped last week. Last blackout night was Thursday and then I drank 3 glasses Friday. Question.... I can't fall asleep and when I do I have baddreams that I am drunk and didnt mean to be. My ears are ringing a bit. I'm shakey. This might sound stupid but I didn't think I was drinking enough and consistently enough to have these withdrawal symptoms. How long should I expect this to last? My AV is telling me to take a xanax which I haven't taken in over a week.... I've taken them on and off for about a year... But I know that's just a temporary fix.
