I sometimes cant think of what i was going to say, ive come to the conclusion its the alcohol, its like a weird clowd in my brain,

Have others encountered it, does it ever go or is it perminant

Are you still drinking or are you in early recovery? In early recovery, it is very common to feel like your brain is in a fog. It takes time, but will get better after a few weeks.

Today is only day one without drinking, so i cant class that as starting recoverey yet, give me a few days, if im still sobar, then ill class it as starting recovery, i just have no faith in myself but i used to be a strong person so i need to find that person again

Im not sure if its because im thinking of it all but i feel really poorly, bad head, feel sickly, body aches dizzy, the cloud feeling feels worce, im trying to take my mind of it but its hard, thanks for all the advice

sugarbear1

it's withdrawal, a "hangover" (which is withdrawal). You'll go through a lot of changes. See a doctor if you are concerned....

Stick around, stay strong and stay stopped!

I'm really glad you will be checking with your doctor...
Please be honest about your drinking habits with him/her.

Wishing you all the best as you move forward...

Tbh im not looking forward to that as id rather not have to have it on my medical records but its my own fault for getting myself like this so i will be honest

You'll be ok... It does go away...

Being an ex-binger, fog lasted 2-4 days - depending on how much I drank..

Hang in there !

immri

i feel the same even when i've stopped for a few weeks
no advice or anything, just wanted to say you're not alone there.

I live in hope that ill be better soon

Good that you will contact your doctor tomorrow. Are you able to eat? Are you drinking plenty of fluids? I hope your doctor is able to help you. Remember, you'll never have to go through this again as long as you don't drink!

are you depressed? brain fog and some of the other symptoms you described can be associated with depression. "Pain and a feeling of pressure are common, most often affecting the head, face, back, chest and gut. The pain is real but caused by depression." (British Medical Assosiation)

I had it, I might still have it to an extent. I am now 8 months sober, it gets easier and better with time!

cheese1, I'm on Day 14, no booze. I had several days and parts of days where I felt like you do, but this weekend, it finally began to clear up. You just have to wait it out, I think. Outlast it. What was nice about today was that I had energy. I didn't just crash at the end of the day and crave a drink. I expect to have plenty of other days where I crave a drink, but at last I am over the first Big Hump. It totally sucks, at first.

My doctor thinks im more depressed than a alcoholic. Hes started me on a small dose of meds so i will have to see if that makes any differance. I still feel rubbish though, thankyou all for all of your advice. I really appreciate it

Tbh im struggling to eat much. And im only drinking water as tea coffee made me feel even worce.

I dont mind the eating bit as i would like to lose weight. Im just trying to make sure the food i do eat is healthy and easy on tummy
