Not because I drank. The meds I'm on can cause an all day headache sometimes.
I'm 7 weeks sober
Still going strong and having absolutely no desire to drink.
For anyone who's just starting out I promise it does get easier and it does get better. I could never imagine a life with alcohol again. It got to a point where I was getting some pretty bad pitting edema as a result of drinking. I still have the video I did on YouTube and I watch it now and I'm disgusted that I let myself go so far down the hole. The edema went away after 2 weeks.
This time is different to the last because I sought medical help. I'm on anti depressants because I used alcohol to cover up so much of my past. When I stopped drinking all my problems returned.
I have a family meal to go to next week. I still don't feel ready to face a place with alcohol so I will likely decline it. I've learned that you have to be prepared to upset a few people if it means remaining sober.
