5 Things that Happen When You Quit Drinking

4. Sweating, headaches and clammy skin

Three of the most apparent and common withdrawal symptoms of alcohol addiction are excessive sweating, frequent headaches and undesirably clammy skin. These are experienced by almost everybody who quits alcohol after having been addicted to it for few years or more. However these symptoms are very temporary and continued persistence wins over them after some time.

5. Depression

Depression is experienced by those who quit after having been an ardent alcoholic for a significant amount of time. However depression, unlike many other symptoms, needs more support and professional help. Continuous counseling by a mentor or a friend can help and family support is essential too in such cases. Taking help of organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous can also go a long way in quitting alcohol successfully.
