And did you ever go through a withdraw where you lay there and all of a sudden you hear a third of a second long crashing of machinery? That night left a big impression on me.
Edit: my mistake, is your freetime night or day? I read alot, not so much the aa book but fantasy and humor books or other discussion forums of what interests you.

This has happened once in a while when I drink massive amounts of alchol and try to dry up.
It is like I am so bad off I can't control my mind I try to sleep and have to get up because it is so bad I think I will lose my mind. It is very hard to describe... any other alcoholics every experience this? Restless, can't control your mind, vomiting... etc.
I just want to know if anyone else knows what I am talking about or if it is because I hit my head and am mental or something.
If even one person has had this I will be very thankful! Thanks!

Yes, I still remember that awful feeling and it's very scary indeed. With my last hangover I went to my Dr. who prescribed medication for those withdrawal symptoms. It helped me and eased up my mind so I could fall asleep.

Alcohol withdrawal is as much mental as it is physical. It was the mental part that was hardest for me the first time I experienced it. I was a paranoid mess with visual and auditory hallucinations during the worst of it and did not sleep for 3 days straight. I had no idea what alcohol withdrawal was at the time so I didn't seek any help. It was the most terrible experience of my life. I can tell you that what you are going through is a sign of a serious drinking problem though. The D.T.'s are not far off.
