Any input would be greatly appreciated.
The time your body takes to recover from alcohol abuse varies with the individual. It also depends on the length of time that you abused alcohol and the quantity of alcohol that you were consuming daily.
It sounds like your symptoms are WD symptoms from quitting consumption of alcohol. The best thing is to find some OTC remedies for your symptoms and tough it out. Check the health pages on this site and other posts for specific OTC help for your WD symptoms.
In any event it will be short lived and you will enjoy the benefits of your great decision to quit drinking the rest of your life. Tomorrow's gain will be well worth today's pain.
It is not just the physical health that is damaged by drinking, emotional and mental symptoms such as fear, paranoia and depression are often a problem. talk with your doctor about this and find a recovery program like AA.
