When my muscles were cramping the Drs said I had muscle wasting from drinking and my muscles eating themselves because I was not giving my body nutrition.
I can't be the only one that doesn't eat when they drink?
To think I can't even go three hours without food now...….over 2 months sober.
Not on alcohol but on cocaine and opiates I've been in positions where I haven't had anything to eat for several days. I don't think I ever got to the point of being genuinely malnourished but definitely to the point of starving myself.
I've had that feeling after like a week long bender where all I've ingested is cocaine, jack daniels and full fat coke. My whole body has felt like it's shutting down because I haven't had anything to eat, I haven't slept or anything.
Protein bars or energy bars are good if you can't stomach regular food.
