Hi everyone,
in June 2022 I stopped a long standing opiate habit and haven't relapsed since. Having done that, I thought it would be great to modify my 20 year habit of boozing heavily as well. I drank daily and often heavily, every day for the last 20 years. Two beers and half a bottle of wine were the good days. Two beers, a bottle of wine and a good amount of gin/whisky were also often part of my routine. Always in the late afternoon/evening, rarely earlier.
I stopped drinking five days ago. It felt a bit odd to not drink anything but I only suffered brief periods of craving a beer or a nice glass of red wine. Otherwise, I felt completely fine not drinking. That said, the last five nights were crazy. I could easily fall asleep but it was a delirious type of sleep, slipping into wild and vivid dreams that just kept going on and on. I kept waking up only to then fall back into the same crazy dreams again. Some of the dreams were just odd or even funny, others were scary and dark.
Has anyone here had the same experience? Is that some kind of withdrawal? There is absolutely no other symptom of withdrawal, no tremor, no anxiety, nothing. But these last five nights were really crazy, I haven't dreamed like that before.
