I certainly think kindling is real. I am almost done with day 12. But on day 3 I took myself to the ER. BP 211/98. Felt absolutely awful. I had cut back and had two 5 day alcohol free stretches the prior month and thought I was making progress! But I was getting increasingly sensitive to the effects of alcohol. So each "rinse and repeat" was getting more intense. However, I am pushing 60 and may have underlying elevated blood pressure which truly makes is worse for me. You are young. Quit now and you will be O.K. DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!
12 days is the longest sober stretch for maybe 4 some years. Not particularly proud of that.
