Yes, cease. I am living proof that alcohol has a direct poisoning effect on nerves and also depletes the body of thiamine and other B vitamins. Also, continuing to drink will continue to set up a state in your body that will not allow you to absorb vitamins properly. You will feel better off of that junk. I sure as heck do, and I never knew just what an alcoholic I had become.
My thread here (about third down on the list) talks a little about what I am still going through and it also gives a vitamin regimen (do not take the iron) that I am following today. Importantly, don't be scared of blood tests, and in all cases of something weird going on with your nerves get a CBC.
11 days sober are the eleven hardest. It gets easier after this week, and it gets much easier after a month. If you need any support, message, please!
