It has gotten MUCH better over time though for me.
Yeah I'm not too worried about the twitching, I just wanted to make sure it was going to go away. Worst case scenario is that I damaged some peripheral nerves irreversibly with all the drinking, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I'd rather be sober and twitching than drunk and not. It will likely go away, I was just curious to hear from others what the timeline might be like as there isn't any published medical literature on this because it doesn't warrant a scientific study.
