Doctor forgot to mention the terrifying, vivid nightmares you get. Tossing and turning. Only can sleep for 20 minutes at a time, then woken by horrible nightmares. I dread sleeping for what I'm going to see and remember. Scarier than any horror movie available.

Tremors are horrible with my uncle... he hasnt drank a drop in 6 years so far. He wants to go buy alcohol like its a reutein for his work instead he buys lottery tickets instead of a 6 pack. Drink in moderation he always tell me.

@karioka2 ----I noticed after many years of heavy drinking...Now at night, it feels actually like there is a REAL water faucet running on my forehead. Water or sweat gets into my eyes. I think there's alcohol in it--stings my eyes. Could mean bad things happening to my liver and kidneys. I have no idea why I still love alcohol! I am sober now.....

@jrjbobby or like my family that says I am not an alcoholic while i am, like they dont accept it, they dont see it as such,, that alcoholism doesnt exist and that is not a sickness: son u r not alcoholic just a heavy drinker that should stop drinking! you dont need AA thats not for you... What a help right?

[karioka2]

What kills me is when a family member, "an enabler" that's codependent says something like, "Well he doesn't drink as much as he used to" or "He's cut down regarding his drinking." I have had several alcoholics in my family. I have enough God-given sense to know there is no "cutting back" or "cutting down" etc. They are both in denial in those situations etc.

Know a guy that is an alcoholic, drinks several daily. He shakes so badly, routinely, he sometimes can't hold a glass eating utensils. I really think it's due to drinking daily and sometimes way too much. Thank goodness I rarely drink and could live without it without one problem. His wife actually serves drinks to him at social functions and at home, her mother had been an alcoholic. She's co-dependent and an "enabler" for sure. It's different for sure...
