Dear sir,
You are experiencing symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Pls understand, you have a disorder and not a mere habit. It is not as simple as treating a cough, that you take medicines and get fine in 2-3 days. This problem developed over a long time, it will go in a long time. Keep patience and applaud youself for accepting your problem and taking a treatment for it. The symptoms you are telling settle down in 7-10 days, at max 15 days. Continue with your treatment and dont let alcohol win over you. You are much stronger than all these troubles.
God bless, regards!

hi, all these symptoms are because you are trying to reduce alcohol. up till now your bidy was used to a particular amount of alcohol and suddenly if you reduce it, the body will react. do not worry, these symptoms will subside. you could seek hypnotherapy, it will work well with you. take care.

Your description indicates alcohol withdrawal symptoms, which can range from minor shakes, anxiety, nausea and insomnia to quite serious problems. It is important to assess you in person to determine the level of dependence, severity of withdrawal and any potential medical complications before appropriate treatment is decided. Inadequate treatment or drinking whilst on treatment or abruptly stopping drinking without treatment.... all can lead to complications. I strongly suggest you meet a psychiatrist in person at the earliest. Usually treatment is quite effective if you are committed and have good support mechanism. Best wishes
