Odd Skin Odor/Sweat Film
Did anyone here have an odd odor and strange/oily film on your skin after heavy drinking for a couple of days, and drinking nothing water and juice for a day after stopping the alcohol. This is after showering in the morning, of course. Just curious. Yeah...I'm a little worried about the liver thing :-/

I often felt I was sweating the booze out of my pores, that usually lasted a day, basically part of my hangover, my 'booze sweats'.
If you've quit and it's not happening anymore then it's probably the hangover. No harm in asking your doctor tho!!

Everything except the '*****' part sounds about right ;-)

I think diarrhoea was a given the day after a binge ....especially red wine. Another of the totally unglamorous sides of drinking.... You wont see that pic up on any alcohol promoting billboards :-)

Posts like these are what keep me sober. The first few months were absolute hel* and I don't want to go back there ever again. You will feel better, you just have to ride it out. I never thought that I would get past the first few weeks and months. But now I have almost 7 months and can finally enjoy sobriety.
