I, too, had blood drawn after I quite drinking (I'm a little over 3 months sober after 30+ years of abuse.) My results came back with 15 values outside the normal ranges. What am I doing? Certainly not freaking! I immediately hopped on a low fat diet and am getting exercise to address some of the problems (Am normal weight for height.) Am drinking lots water...heck I didn't know coffee and beer didn't keep you hydrated! For the other issues: red blood count, iron, thyroid, and phosphate, I'll have to wait until the doctor's appt. on Wed. to understand the test results. I don't know about you, but I've abused myself with nicotine, alcohol, bad diet, and lack of medical care for a long time. The test results are nobody's fault but my own and the best I can do is try to reverse them.

I think you know what you need to do...please stay strong and sober and ENJOY YOUR EASTER!
