Now, i am only doing this until Feb 28, but i am hoping it will allow me to keep things more incheck, but check this out:
i fopund this online:
A person going through alcohol detox will experience many withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can appear 6-48 hours after ceasing alcohol consumption. Mild withdrawal symptoms may include:
Shaking (in my case, very mild and not very much)
Perspiration
Depression
Bad dreams
Headaches
Vomiting
Restlessness
Loss of appetite
Insomnia

Were you drinking on a daily basis? During my years in college, I used to drink about six nights a week, so I have experienced the withdrawl symptoms, Insomnia being the worst of them. Now I probably get drunk an average of about once a week, and don't consume any alcohol besides that. If it was truly becoming a problem, it's good that you were able to recognize it and put a stop to it. It would be horrible to have to come to the point where you were unable to ever have another drink without fear of relapse. Good luck. I'm also a caffeine addict and I have yet to curb that one.
