Hi,
Congrats on the quit!! The recovery powers of the human body are incredible. I was extremely ill when I quit drinking. I could no longer ingest any alcohol to stop the detox process. I had drank for decades and full bore alcoholism the last few years. I did receive good medical attention and I did follow all my doctors advice. Two weeks after stopping drinking my liver enzymes were back in the normal range. I didn't think that was possible.
Since getting sober I have watched lots of people go from the detox hosp with all kinds of physical issues make incredible recoveries when they stayed sober. On the other hand seeing those that could not stay sober and came back into the hospital were not doing so well.
The cool part about staying sober is that life just gets so much easier. I don't miss putting that poison into my body at all.
