Went to the dentist today
Day 29
As per the title, I went for the first time in about 3 years. It wasn't a pleasant or painless experience; 2 fillings, some industrial level descaling and warnings of more serious problems to come if I don't change my ways. I never thought about it but I suppose oral hygiene was just another thing that would have got in the way of my drinking. I can't remember but I somehow doubt I bothered to clean and floss before collapsing fully clothed on top of the bed (when I even made it that far) .

Worse I cancelled Dentist, Blood test, Eye appt., Mammogram and now 4 weeks sober I STILL haven't done them. Too tired insomnia for 10 night's now...but everyone says it will pass. Kudos to you for getting it done!

Pul,
I would brush sporadically when I was a drunk.
Often I would wake up after a binge, cotton mouth, headache, sick, red eyed.
I would look at my fat bloated face in the mirror and shake my head.
I knew I was addicted but couldn't stop until I found this site.
My desire to quit combined w the information and participation here, saved me.
These days I am much better. I go to work and folks are suprised by my interest.
I used to avoid interactions because I reeked of booze and was very weak.
Getting over the physical addiction was hard and horrible. The mental healing was/is equally difficult.
Relapse looms. I am beginning to stabilize nicely. Drug free except....
I just popped a zyrtec because my nose started running away.
Otherwise, I am present and beginning to feel nicely human for the first time in my life.
Stay clean.
Thanks.
