An Exciting Pain in the Arse this is.
 

First time Poster.
Looking here for 3 days now.
Like this place.

Been drinking for over 25 years.
Started getting headaches while drinking.
Tried to hydrate, tried to eat more.

Every 3rd or 5th beer led to headaches.
Last one was 4 hours long.
Couldn't shake it.

Finally decided to stop.
Been 6 days down now.
Sleep 2 hours.
Get up with headache for 1 hour.
Repeat.
Repeat.

Hoping tonight is better.
Eating a bit better.

Feeling better.
Eyes opening up.

Wife thinks it's funny and doesn't understand.
Thought I was nicer Drunk.
I was sedated and comfortable.
Now, I'm just more observant.

Better waking up without that slight hangover.
Yet, still with these headaches and slight hangover feelings.

I can do this.
I am doing this.

Welcome me!

Welcome to the Forum Absentia!! Yes YOU can do this!! :wave:

Welcome to SR and congratulations on 6 days!

I would like to suggest you see a doctor if the headaches continue. Always better to be safe than sorry.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Welcome, You are doing well, there is some great info on this site.
You will start to feel better in no time. Congratulations.

Welcome to SR absentia :)

D

Good to meet you Absentia. :)

Welcome! So glad you're here!

I used to get headaches when I was younger.
Then they stopped.
There was / is stress BC of Money things.

Actually the Headaches lead me to exercise to fight them.

But I tell you if they last too long, I'll have to seek advice.

Damn Obamacare.
I make too much to qualify.
Yet I make just enough to survive.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Hi there Absentia.

I hated the headaches - not sure when they went away but I really don't get them much anymore. Soberwolf told me about this cool strips that you put on your head and I have to say they worked. Who knows why and I think I looked a bit silly with them on my forehead but they worked. Look into them. CoolStrips - I'll go look it up

I am here to post an update!

14 Days!
2 Weeks!

Sober.

Oh yeah, lot's of Fun!

Fun Dreams, Fun Sleep times!

Just downright Fun times!

Glad you're having fun!! ;)



Seriously though . . .

Great job on your Sobriety, trust me it does get better, 2 Weeks is a fantastic stepping stone to push on from!! :)

Wonderful news Absentia. 14 days sober - granted, not much fun :) in the beginning, but it will not always feel this way. The anxiety will lessen, you will sleep - and everything will get easier.

Congrats on your 2 weeks Absentia

Congrats on 14 days!

I'm hoping to match your two weeks this coming Tuesday!

Hi Abstentia
Have your headaches improved?
Well done on 14 days!
Like your writing style :)

Congrats, Absentia; 14 days is great.

How are those headaches?

Congrats on the 14 days.

Congrats on two weeks sober! :) It will get better. :)

Of course you are doing this. You decided enough is enough and nothing will stand between you and sobriety.

You will start feeling like a new you in a short while. Go go go!
