Hi- Day 3 and new to this site

Hi All- I am looking for some answers regarding withdrawal symptoms. My drinking had escalated up to two bottles of wine a night and more on the weekends. I have been a heavy drinker for years. Yesterday I had sweats and chills but was fine by the afternoon. I was fine today until this afternoon when I developed a terrible headache, nausea with sweats and chills again. Is it typical for your withdrawal symptoms (which I assume these are) to come and go? What can I expect over the next few days?

I appreciate any info!

Welcome Snowdog. We always will advise you to talk with a doctor and/or have someone close by to keep track of you while you detox.

This is a thread that might be of help though.

Welcome to SR Snowdog, great crowd of folk here for you.
I found for the first couple of weeks that at times, especially in the mornings I felt terrible- as though I had a hangover. But it passed and its worth not going back there again.
