Try a bland diet. Rice, bread, lay off the fats/grease, spicy, fast food, soda...
I too, found that I would cough alot in withdrawal...I think it was more like anxiety causing it...I noticed it would stop after I had stopped drinking. Go figure!
Hope you feel better!
Thanks Veritas, Grympt and Dee. I think it also anxiety related somehow. I remember I never use to have this problem, but now it feels like I have a lump in my throat or I am being choked, almost. And the chest area is tight, breathing has become much shallower. God help me.
LOL this isn't funny but its kind of like "how in the world did I get here" and "how in the world to I find my way out". Just need to grab the weed whacker and start hacking away the weeds.
