What's a normal alcohol withdrawl symptom like ?
On day 4 of not drinking. I just had the worst case of headache. I felt like my head was about to explode. It was as if I had a brain freeze that didn't stop. I don't usually get headaches. If I do it's a very mild migraine always on one side of my head, always goes away on its own or after taking exerdrin for migraines headache medicine My headache was so painful I cried and vomited.
Or is my headache due to a combination of withdrawals. I just quit smoking ciggerettes a few days before I quit drinking. I smoked 5 days a week and 5 cigs per day) and I also quit drinking coffee. My last cup of coffee was 3 days ago. I usu drink coffee on the days I work ( mon- fri. )

none of us are Drs Charchar - this headache might be withdrawal related, or something else. There's just no way for us to tell for sure over the net.
If you're concerned, why not see a Dr yourself?

In terms of alcohol withdrawal, it doesn't matter what you experienced in the past, it gets worse over time, even for the same amount of alcohol consumption. Please google "alcohol withdrawal kindling effect" for details.
First, Thank you everyone so much for the feedback! I was searching for the effects of the liver and symptoms/warning signs the liver is starting to suffer. That's how I discovered SR. I'm so glad I did! . I did a lot of reading and searching here. Everyone here is just amazing! I feel I'm in the right place and feel so much more confident about my recovery.
Again, I appreciate the comments. I never thought to search kindled recovery. I will do that. And as for my headache it was gone in the morning. I think it was the caffeine and everything on top that. I read somewhere that coffee has triggering effects on alcohol. I replaced it with lemon water with stevia. I think quitting everything all at once may do more harm so I'm drinking coffee again. I never had a problem with coffee. Actually, I think coffee has manny health benefits. And for smoking cigarettes, I started last year when quit drinking to ease my cravings. Then relapsed and I was smoking and drinking. No good. I had enough of both. I want to give my liver a break.
To answer, "how much I drank?" I drank at least a bottle of red wine sometimes aliitle more everyday for the last several years. Before the switch to wine it bought a gallon jug of vodka. I drank straight from the bottle. Wine was easier to keep track.
