Alcohol is a neurotoxin that affects the body at the cellular level, where intoxicated cells communicate altered signals to neighboring cells, creating a chain reaction of dysfunction throughout the body; the restlessness, frustration, and irritation experienced during recovery are natural signs that the brain is actively regulating and healing itself.

Your Life Gets Easier When You Stop Avoiding Hard Things #BeyondSober #AddictionRecoveryAdded:
So, the fact that you're restless, you're frustrated, you're irritated, dude, you know what that is? That's proof that your brain is trying to regulate, okay? When you step away from the poison, from the neurotoxin, alcohol is a drug. It is a fucking neuro neurological toxin. That's what drugs are.
When that drug is in your veins, I also want you to understand that it doesn't just sit in your veins.
You are drunk from the fucking cellular level.
Did you know that your cells talk to every other cell? And if your cells are drunk, what do you think they're saying to the cells next to them? And the cells next to them? They're drunk as fuck all the time.
