OK so how come I feel like I have a hangover when I've not had any booze for 7 days? !!!!!!

It could just be that you've just got a headache, which could be due to too much caffeine and/or not enough water; or it could be delayed mild withdrawals. At seven days I had the odd headache, and tummy upset. It soon passed.
Congratulations on your week's sobriety!

Nevertheless

I always thought while I was drinking my headaches were from hangovers. Because the first beer they would start to go away. But when I stopped drinking,my headaches never went away. Until I went to a chiropractor for neck problems. I didn't really think a chiropractor would have any relief for headaches,I was there for my neck,but I'm cured.
You might give one a try.

Your body requires healing from the abuse it endured. Maybe it's giving you a payback. I'm just kidding ;-)

I think I dismiss a lot of health issues blaming it on alcohol, when it really might be something else...or I just don't want to admit it. HONESTY with you dr is the best IMO

Have you had your eyes checked recently?

Lot's of reasons for headaches ..please do check with your doctor..

OH gosh, in the first 4 - 5 weeks of sobriety, I would get this odd hangover type headache for 2 - 3 days. I was like WTHeck! I thought allergies, but something told me it was somehow related to my sobriety. I haven't had one in 2 weeks and think they may be gone for good.

Good luck. Stay strong - they will subside. If not, go see the doc!

My BEST!

OK now I feel much better headache gone, my tummy has been doing all sorts of horrible things but I think it must be a bug.

or your body and brain could be healing....

maybe drink more water?

I tend to drink more coffee, sugar, and crap snacks with MSG and salt, those make me feel slightly hangoverish. But after relapsing, I will tell you, the memory fade, cause that is WAY worse.

I take Tylenol a lot these days.

If you are eating a lot of sugar that could do it. Drink lots of water, your body is healing it will get better. I hope you feel better

OK here I gooooooooo. I feel on top of the world 2 weeks no booze Ive been here so many times and got caught out - my mood then goes bump after the feeling of exhillaration - I need to watch out. Booze seems to suppress my mood and interlect ! I know its not good but I dont then get these massive mood swings. I need to focus
