I am doing ok, these boards are amazing...I love the support.

I have been really super sick for the last two days with a cold, I guess usually I would have drank anyway, but I wonder if it is just my body breaking down because I have no alcohol.

Also, I am drinking a ton of water, but I feel really super bloated? My belly is distended. I guess these are results of my illness of alcoholism

I am taking things one day at a time, I tell myself, just for today, I will not drink. It is teh first drink that kills me.

Thanks for the support.

Love,
Ladyb

Good job Ladyb. It sounds like you are doing super. Make sure you get enough to eat too.

4 days your a lifer now, you can't give up. I'm at day 6 and already have gone to 2 AA meetings and a big book study, where I found a sponsor. I would suggest you do the same find an AA meeting as soon as you feel good enough to go. You can do it.
love and support to you..

Hooray Day 4! Me too.
Like Phaleron suggested, I too have been taking multi-vitamins. Some of the research I have done regarding alcoholism suggested that we are quite prone to being deficient in certain nutritional substances. All those empty calories from the booze makes us not hungry.
