Hello
Jon here from England.
I joined this forum for some advice and moral support.
I have been drinking 3 large spirits, 1 bottle of wine and perhaps a nightcap every day for way over 8 years and before that drank a fair amount.
Over the Christmas holidays I had a few heavier days and one morning felt really bad with some abdominal pains, that worried and scared me.
I eased back a little and Googled my symptoms, silly thing to do but an eye opener, for sure.
So my plan is to cut right back and try and educate myself. So far I am on day 3 with not many cravings, probably because what I read scared me.
I have started taking Vit B12 complex, FolicAcid and Milk Thistle. Drinking lots of water and getting some good sleep.
I feel far better in myself, itching like mad in the evenings and I awake with a headache, albeit a mild one.
I realise many on here have drunk way more for far longer than me but we were all on a similar path.
