Dizziness may come from poor circulation.
Circulatory problem. Besure to hydrate and
maybe a trip to your physician to check that
blood flowing thru your veins are working
well.
Blood sometimes thickens for certain reasons
and can cause problems. Thinning it may help
with help and suggestions from ur doctor.

Things should improve soon for you.
For newly sober ones a doctor visit is highly recommended.

Jwc,
That is the main reason i quit drinking.
I had several spells of vertigo in a 48 hour period. Some while driving, one while on the highway.
This caused anxiety etc. It is scary...a real life horror show.
It all stopped...in my experience....when i quit drinking.
I was feeling weird, off balance for years. I needed booze to feel normal.
I triedto blame it on work. That was all my adiction.
My unsteady feelings lasted for a long long time. Over a year. Not as bad as the initial vertigo, but just a feeling of general unsteadiness.
I felt almost like i was drunk, but i was totally sober. It is/was likely brain damage, probably from my heavy binge drinking.
Now that i am clean, i only have to deal w the occasional, but generally daily, crave.
I expect to crave for the rest of my life.
I am an addict for life.

mtnbob....Yes, our doctors also suggested
us to take a low dosage of bayer asprin each
day.
Last yr I experienced a horrible spell
of dizziness out of the clear blue, sober
26 yrs. Doctor told me it had to do with
my circulatory system. No vertigo and
had test done to say that wasn't it.
So far it hasn't happened again but did
miss going to Daytona Bike week because
of it.
Made up for it at Biketoberfest.

I got dizzy spells as well, , but mine were from anxiety. I wasn't recognising when I was getting tense and stressed and either shallow breathing, or almost holding my breath. Breathing exercises really helped me, together with an awareness of my body and recognising my own anxiety.

I'm right there with BB...I had dizziness but it was due to my anxiety breaking through. Always best to talk to your doc but anxiety can cause all kinds of disturbing sensations.
Coming off alcohol can amp up anxiety for a bit.
Hang in there!
