You are only 9 days sober (which, in the total scheme of things, is still very early times) and it may take some more time.
We cannot give medical advice here. You need to be the best advocate for, and ally with, your body and health.
HOWEVER, while the liver is a highly resilient organ, I would strongly suggest a visit with your GP or a visit to the ER to discuss your concerns. Your fears may be allayed. If there is a problem, it is likely important that it be treated in a timely fashion.
Thank you, SoberLeigh. I appreciate your feedback. I go to see my doctor again next week. I know I’m still very early on in the process. I just have never detoxed before so I didn’t know if this is just all part of the struggle. Everyday is different. Some days I feel great and the next day, I’m down and out. But it’s mostly just from the stomach pain. All other withdrawal symptoms have significantly declined. Thanks again for responding.
