The process in which the alcoholic's body adjusts to functioning without the drug?

Ah, we're talking about alcohol withdrawal, honey. It's when the body throws a tantrum because it's used to having that liquid courage around all the time. So, when you decide to give up the sauce, your body goes through a rough patch as it learns to cope without its boozy bestie. Just remember, stay strong and hydrate like your life depends on it... because it kinda does.
