Been drinking daily for two years. The past eight or so months has been around 15 drinks a day, more or less depending on the day.

This is day three of stopping cold turkey. It's been fine. I feel extremely hungry.

Yesterday had some scary moments. I needed to login to my employee account at work. I know this short username/password by heart but all of a sudden my mind went completely blank, and I was sweating extremely hard through my hands and back and neck all of a sudden.

Also when I laid down for bed last night, my heart was racing so fast it felt like it was gonna burst out of my chest. Also felt extremely jumpy and paranoid (seeing things in the dark that weren't there, thoughts racing and contradicting each other, couldn't focus, a deafening ringing in my ears, felt paralyzed and unable to move) and had lots of night sweats.

I've mainly been eating a 2,000 a day calorie diet with plenty of water and Gatorade to get hydrated again. Also started at the gym three days ago and going daily. Not for too long though, just 20-25 minutes of exercise before walking in the park a few hours.
