For me the worst was over about 2-3 weeks. Could start to begin trying to feel normal again - if that makes any sense?? During that initial period it was just listening to my body.
Tired - Sleep.
Hungry - Eat. etc.
Nothing too complicated, just getting through that day.
Having people who know what it's like helped enormously as well - any question that pops up I could come straight on here and get an answer. Helps to not feel like you are doing it on your own.
I also made a promise to myself that I would come on and post before taking a drink. That's been really helpful.
Good luck!
Stu.
