Withdrawal symptoms
The harm from alcohol is much greater than many people think.A hangover and headache in the morning are minor inconveniences.If you decide to get rid of alcohol addiction on your own, you should expect “withdrawal symptoms” that will force you to drink again:
- feeling of constant anxiety, irritability;
- Fear;
- Tension;
- depressive state;
- Resentment;
- a stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5-7 days after quitting alcohol.In order not to fall into the addiction trap and start drinking again, you must:

- understand that these sensations will soon pass;
- Do not associate the condition with external causes.
- Remember why you stopped drinking.
As soon as you see that you have become more attractive through sport, that your hobby brings you joy (and maybe even money), and that there is understanding and harmony in the family, you will no longer want to destroy this idyll.
