Alcohol freezes you in time for sure.

I think the people that get actual tremors, shakes, seizures, etc are the ones who need a drink first thing in the morning, the dudes that literally drink ALL day, not just at night.

If you drink heavily and consistently and then stop, you will have withdrawals. What are you magical? My guess is you aren't lying but you didn't drink nearly as much as you think you did

Either way, enjoy the sobriety and good luck moving forward

GJM! Drank a handle every few days myself for almost 10 yrs. Finally got a blood test and my levels were way up in the stratosphere! Seeing the results made me quit cold turkey. Levels returned to normal in about 6 months. Thank goodness I quit when I did before I did irreversible damage!
