@colleenyoung Hi there Colleen I’m new to the group and just navigating the website. I am an alcoholic and now clean going on 3 weeks. For the first couple days it was rough I decided to go cold turkey without it and now experiencing symptoms of alcohol neuropathy. Pins and needles in my feet and it usually worsens when Im about to go to sleep. Yesterday they were throbbing and I didn’t sleep. Any help or advice would be great! 😊

So you didn’t have symptoms until you stopped drinking?
