If you were drinking that heavily and stopped cold turkey, please see a doctor. Detox from high alcohol consumption can trigger physical symptoms that are uncomfortable or even dangerous. Other substances may have really unpleasant withdrawals, but alcohol is one of the few substances that can be truly dangerous without medical supervision.
I admire you for deciding to quit, but please do it safely. I didn't know that alcohol withdrawal could be physically dangerous until a few years ago when someone close to me stopped drinking and needed medication for a few days.
He took only a few days for the physical detox, but his mental state didn't really feel changed for a few weeks, he said.
Is it normal I quit drinking and don't notice much difference?
