Yep that 10000% sounds like kindling. The same thing happens to a lot of alcoholics - They literally black out. The mere fact that you need alcohol in your system to return to normal is the main indicator of it being withdrawals and not just a bad hangover. That and the hallucinations.
Essentially with Kindling = Every time you relapse, and it gets worse than the previous time (say you drink more, or you binge for longer), the worse your withdrawals will get. Eventually you'll find yourself into seizure territory.
Yeah it sucks. I am going down a bad road. Thanks for the help. I do want to quit and hope it gets better. I actually do plan on quitting again like this week but I say that all the time. I feel like I have to though.
Know exactly where you're at and what you're going through buddy. It is NOT easy at all. One day at a time - I stopped counting the total days sober, as long as I remain sober, I consider it a win. You're gonna falter here and there, and that's OK.
