There is a thing called "kindling." Each time we go through withdrawal, is worse than the last. That could be why you are experiencing symptoms you haven't experienced before. Profuse sweating is not uncommon during withdrawal.

Yep. Kindling is real to me. I didn't know about it until I came to this site 4 plus years ago.

I was/am pretty messed up in the head and I believe if I relapse it will get worse and worse.

Folks that manage to drink into their later years sometime get labeled as just getting old and losing it.

I believe booze escalates this.

Drinking was a learned behavior. I have unlearned it...so far.

Thanks.

It was proving my efforts were not in vain and also that I MUST be an alcoholic (no more hiding from it!)!or this physical reaction would not be occurring.
