Just my experience: I slept a ton the first two weeks and then noticed a gradual improvement. For the first 6-8 months I got every illness that looked in my direction (I never got sick when I drank, my body was too toxic for germs
). At about 8 months I stopped getting sick and started to feel really good. At 17 months I am feeling good but still working on repairing the damage that a decade of excess brought (I smoked as well as drank, that makes a difference I think).
Everyone is different. I quit for 6 days 4 years before I quit for good and by the end of those 6 days I looked and felt like a new woman...I wish I had stayed quit then because i didn't bounce back like that this time.
