First illness since stopping the poison and BOY am I longing for the days when I'd get a happy buz and fall asleep!!! Instead it's plain old motrin to combat the fever- . Keep reminding myself the bad might feel worse but the good times are even better when sober! 103 fever- ugh!

Hope your fever goes away soon! 103 is pretty brutal!

Its debilitating and I keep thinking "Ok remember- HANGOVERS can be this bad".

When I was drinking, the hangovers would feel like having a bad flu. Now that I'm sober, being sick feels like the hangovers used to feel.

I remember when I first went to an AA meeting and this old bloke said. 'don't be tempted to have a drink if you get the flu.' And I thought, 'what on earth is he going on about.' You just gave me a flashback lol.x

If it's any consolation, when recently sober, I got over the last cold I had much faster than ever before.

When drinking, the cold would last forever and turn into a respiratory infection.

When sober, four or five days max.

Haven't crossed that bridge yet, but get well soon!!

103 is no laughing matter. Can you get to the doc?

Get better. That is pretty high fever. Lots of water and electrolytes.
I went down memory lane after reading your post. crazy but awesome how we all can relate is some way.
I started my sobriety 2 days early than planned due to same illness. I wanted a hot tottie sooo bad..
instead I did hot lemon water with ginger. Stay inside and stay warm.

Man I hope you're right -
That means I'm better tomorrow or the next day.
This sucks!
