Hi,

Quick question. Do normal people have the symptoms alcoholics get when they quit alcohol?

I am on day 74 and I have chronic tiredness, mood swings etc etc. would a normal person have this at the same time?

Just kinda curious.

Hi Finnie

I have no idea how to answer about normal drinkers as I'm not one.

I can tell you it took me about 3 months before I started feeling 'normal'.
It could be that you're like me - some of us simply take longer to recover.

I'm not a Dr but PAWs is always a possibility too - check out the link and see if it rings any bells...

PAWS is a very real thing. It bothered me most of my first year, the mood swings, inability to concentrate, poor memory. But it went away and now I'm back to normal functioning.

I found that it took about three months for things to teally strt to settle down. Motivation and energy took a slower speed.

I am now better than i had been for years- hang in there

Yeah it takes a while. I realized I was in a constant state of withdrawal for years, having never made it more than a month in that time Never an everyday drinker, I was a binge drinker for 5 hard years, then slowly spaced it out the last 5. drink a six pack, and it would reignite insane anxiousness, anger, antisocial behaviour. It started to go away after 2 months. Now at 95 days, it's been going away slowly.

You might have sugar issues as I do. eat healthy. smaller meals. don't binge eat carbs. Keep going.
