the headaches will get better. In the beginning shortly after I stopped I felt dizzyness for about 1 month. It seemed forever. Plus I was very lethargic and did not want to do anything. It is slowly getting better now. As for counting days, I try not to count however from time to time I look up my progress. I tried several times and relapsed, however the day I made the decission to stop drinking is the one I remember forever since ti changed my life and my believes. Just hang in there, there was a reason why you quit drinking in the 1st place, just remeber that....
