I have a question about alcohol addiction. I used to drink about every other night not always get drunk but about 3-5 beers every other night or so. Then I started drinking very heavily for about 3 weeks. I started noticing my body would shake without alcohol in my system. I decided to stop drinking. I have had no problem with not drinking. I have no temptation to drink it has been very easy for me to stop. I was drinking all the time because I was keeping a secret from my family and it was tearing me up inside. I told them this secret and now there is no need to drink.
So my question is this: If I decide to go out to dinner with some friends and decide that I would like a glass or two of wine am I going to go through the shaking withdrawls when the alcohol is leaving my system? I wonder if I will ever be able to drink lightly or socially again? Does the body remember that addiction forever?
