hello Heidi and welcome
if you had Tourette tics as a child you would remember it!! it isnt something you would not have been aware enough of not to remember. Also, there is usually a family history of tics, OCD etc that accompany TS
you may want to consider finding a NUCCA trained chiropractor to look at your neck. They are very skilled and gentle and can often correct neck problems
here is the NUCCA website where you can see what they are about and find a certified NUCCA practitioner in your area (they are usually all covered by insurance)

Good for you that you have quit drinking! If you are still finding it stressful to be without, you may want to try something like cognitive behavioral therapy that can help you develop coping skills and learn to deal with things minus that alcohol crutch
I hope things get better for you soon.
