Changes in interoception/ feeling grounded / embodied after quitting alcohol?
31 M. I have struggled a lot in the last 10 years with a hyper sensitized nervous system, and struggling to properly feel “self-contained” /fully embodied and grounded in my body , as if there became a duality between myself and my body, creating a lot of hyper-vigilance and tension.
This happens to be the same time period I started drinking alcohol regularly, and I don’t know how much of a correlation there is.
When you stopped alcohol for several months or longer did you notice an increased interoceptive ability to feel grounded and embodied in yourself and the feel the “container” of your body? Or no difference?
