11 days sober
I was an 8 beer a day (every day) drinker for about 10 years until I was admitted into the hospital on 12/31/10 with an intestinal infection. It was at that point I decided I should quit drinking and smoking. I'm on day 11 and doing well. I went cold turkey as I was too ashamed to admit to anyone that I am an alcoholic. The first 4 days in the hospital were easy. It's been a little tougher since I've been home. I was sweating so bad at night the sheets were soaked! I was worried about being able to sleep but so far so good. Hope to see others with similar situations as mine to talk with. Thanks!
