Initially, I had no idea what they meant and none of it made any sense. They told me that I was alcohol dependent and that I needed to refer myself to detox via the local substance use service.
It was the only way I could get any relief. One of the more serious and horrifying symptoms I had started experiencing was 'visions' of creatures crawling over me at night and attacking me.
What started as one to two glasses of wine at the weekend had become more than three bottles per night while working at home into the early hours.
It's really important you don't stop drinking to avoid further episodes of withdrawal. People going through it may experience symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening.
