What Happens to Your Body When You Live Without Alcohol for 28 Days
- It is hard to get quality sleep after quitting drinking. This can even be true for people who are used to drinking a glass of something before bed in order to fall asleep faster. While alcohol might make you fall asleep faster, it decreases the quality of your sleep. So as you transition away from alcohol the sleep itself will not be deep and some people might also have nightmares.
- In some cases, people might have headaches, which are a signal of major changes in the body as it’s detoxing from alcohol. It may affect the liver or even cause high blood pressure. At this stage of quitting alcohol, your body may even experience the opposite effect and kill the pain (when people drink regularly, their pain tolerance increases) and there is still some semblance of pain tolerance in the body in week one.
