A question about withdrawal

[Buckbeak]

Hi Guys - Im currently on the long (and presumably) winding road to recovery having decided about 10 days ago to quit the sauce. Ive been drinking with increased regularity for about 10 years now. Anyway Im having some quite odd and unexpected things happen to me. Just wondered if these things were kind of normal and whether any of you lovely people had had any of the same experiences?

First up im having lots of trouble sleeping and when I do I suffer quite hellish nightmares. from the 10 sleeps ive had id say on average ive only been getting about 3-4 hours sleep a night and most of that is broken up. Im 31 years old and before 10 days ago I dont think I'd ever even had a nightmare

The other negative is I seem to be having quite a lot of highs and lows - Nothing too major but I guess just the blues followed by the sweet feeling of relief. The sweet feeling of the having no guilt. Man that is a good feeling - I guess I should just try and think of that before I go to bed.

Thanks for listening
