I think for most of us our symptoms have started and progressed over long periods of time. Once you learn to take care of your body it can get better. It doesn't make sense to me that it would just go away that fast by just stopping drinking. I also am a heavy/daily drinker and I have been for about 10 years with only brief periods of sobriety. I have neuropathy but I do not think mine is strictly from alcohol use. I am 25. How did your family doctor conclude it was alcohol neuropathy? Did they run tests of any sort? I'm just curious because it doesn't sound right to me. I wish you the best and good luck with your neurologist!
