Hi Ricky and welcome! I am also a recovering alcoholic. My father died from complications of the disease at age 69. My mom had to divorce him because his alcoholism progressed to the point that he would become crazy and violent. I am also an only child and I thought alcoholism would never happen to me.
There is a way out, though, and you are not alone. We care about you here. Definitely stay in touch with your doctor if you are experiencing problems.
Make sure you are eating a good, balanced diet, drinking plenty of water and you can take a daily vitamin and B-vitamins if your doctor agrees.
It will take a couple weeks, but you will begin sleeping better and feeling more normal. Try to get some exercise--that will help you sleep.
Don't stay alone and isolated! Call AA central office in your area, or look online for AA or Celebrate Recovery groups and start going to meetings. Your new best friends will be there!!!! They understand your problem first hand and will help you through.
Praying for you today! You can do this and life is so much better sober!!!!
