38 Days.
 
It's been 38 days without any alcohol,
and I feel my limits being pushed every single day.

Headaches, urges, and short fused temper.
Does it ever subside?

Welcome.....:wavey:

It took me about 2 months to feel back in balance mentally and physically.
I had been drinking for many years tho and I was 53 so I did not expect quick healing.

I was doing positive things..eating healthy...drinking plenty of water..walking often... attending AA daily. I do think all those helped with the cravings....:yup:

Please do keep posting....sobreity is just such a wonderful way to live
give your self every chance to enjoy your journey....:yup:

Glad to see you here isaacovation, & congratulations on your 38 days. We understand what you're going through.

I was a lifelong drinker & it took about 3 mos. for the clouds to lift. I didn't have a very good attitude when I first stopped - was filled with resentment. I also wasn't under a dr's care, which would've helped. The negative feelings faded away, though - and slowly I felt myself come out into the sunshine. It still gets a little better each day.

Reading other's stories & experiences really calmed me down & gave me hope. Maybe being here will help you feel less anxious. Congratulations on wanting a better life - you can do this.

I completely agree. I also was full of resentment when I quit, and I checked myself into rehab, at my own volition no less!

For me, working a program has really helped as well.

Do you feel you are missing out by not drinking ? If not, in my experience it will settle
