Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Dear ,
I understand your concerns but unfortunately low sex drive is one of the post acute withdrawal symptoms of alcohol. However, its cause is mainly psychological rather than physical so I would recommend that you get a psychological consultation. I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion.
Thanks.
