What happens to your body when you quit drinking alcohol???

Question by dana82: What happens to your body when you quit drinking alcohol???
My step-mom is an alcoholic. She quit cold turkey 4 days ago. She was drinking Vodka heavily every day. She hasnt had very many withdrawl symptoms other than being irritable. But- since she stopped, she feels like she has a bladder or kidney infection. Is this common? and is this just “part of it”?
Shes been drinking for years–maybe its just because all the alcohol is coming out of her body?
i know most of the basic symptoms of alcohol withdrawl…im curious if this is another less common symptom??
