Question about withdrawal
I stopped drinking almost daily in June last year, but I drank about once every 3 weeks from then until January this year, because I didn't know that alcoholics can't go back to drinking in moderation. So instead of getting better, I continued to get worse.
Every time I drank again my withdrawal (acute and PAWS) got worse. I didn't notice this immediately because it was only a subtle difference at first, but then it started to become more obvious.
Is it possible that by stopping and starting again several times like I did, I've created a withdrawal that is worse than if I had drank that whole time and then stopped once?
Note: I'm talking about PAWS. I'm on day 101 so well past the acute phase.
