As I went through withdrawals which I would describe as medium level, no hallucinations or dt's, I kept reminding myself that I would never have to feel that way again. I felt pretty pretty crappy for a few weeks but I knew that it wouldn't last forever.

My withdrawals were mostly feeling extremely lethargic, elevated blood pressure and heart rate, anxiousness, irritability, and insomnia. Oh, and excessive perspiration. I had a short period of sobriety of about two weeks in May. I drank once heavily, after those two weeks, only one night and I had to start the entire detox process over again. It was as if I had never been sober for those two weeks. It was hell. I believe it is called "kindling."
