1 Week Today :)

I managed to make it through a holiday and the weekend! Wooh hooh! 1 week sober! I have had a mild headache and an overall feeling of my head being cloudy/foggy for the past week but no other issues. Anyone know when the cloudiness usually start to go away? I know it's different for everyone, but a ball park? I drank 2-3 days a week, about a bottle-bottle and a half of wine per day (or 6-8 beers or so). Thank you and I hope you are all doing well today!

Hi, Healthylife.

Congrats on a week!

As for cloudness, it took me about ten days to get my head back in proper condition. Though, I am still a little bit absent-minded (Day 22), but that's just maybe because I am always thinking of ten things at a time).

Keep it up! My best wishes to you and have a great day.

Congrats on the week - good for you!

It took about a month for my head to feel clear but it wasn't until about 3 months when I started feeling physically and mentally healthy again.

Keep going... you'll get there it really is worth it.

I am on Day 25, and feel really good today. I think part of it is mental because I made it through another weekend. However, I have also been eating healthy and exercising. I have lost about six pounds, so that is a benefit as well.

Congratulations on a week, keep it up, definitely worth it!!!!

Congrats and keep going strong.

It gets better and better.

I drank daily for decades. And it took a couple weeks to really have the fog kinda lift. And a good month before I really looked thru my eyes clear.
