Hi everyone; this is my first post too. RP and have many simialrities, my mother has advancing dementia and we placed her in a nursing home this year....stressful for all.
I've been drinking steadily for about 25 years, i refer to myself as a "functioning alcoholic"..i only drink wine, but i drink more and more. i decided yesterday (after being home sick and watching a marathon of Intervention shows). that it might be a good thing to stop....hopefully today is my first sober day in 2010. I was sober for 9 days in October 2009...not by choice, i was hospitalized.
I have a headache and vomiting, anxiety, tachycardic if I miss my BP meds. that i need because i've put on 40# from all that wine....i no longer go to the gym, i'm depressed to the max.
I work at a hospital and am susceptiple to all those virus' so i don't know if i have a real GI thing or it's the lack of wine...which i refused to buy today...I purchased laundry detergent and catfood instead.
i'm currently drinking diet gingrale mixed with seltzer.....
thank for letting invade the thread.
