> I somehow feel sick and constantly tired. Because you have been drinking so long, your brain's neurochemical levels (specifically dopamine) have adjusted around the alcohol's effects, and now that you've removed it, these chemicals are out of balance (this is called downregulation/upregulation). This is a very common effect of long-term drug/alcohol use (really any medication too), all you can do is stop the alcohol use and wait for it to improve - it 100% will, but it will take time. A supplement called N-Acetyl-Cystene (NAC) can help, though of course it is not a magic bullet |
