Thanos

I am cruising along at 16 days. The brain fog that made me fearful of permanent brain damage (it was really that bad) has lifted for today and I feel fresh and productive for the first time since I had my last day one on 9/30/15. I am hoping the fog doesn't return, or if it does, it does so to a lesser degree and continues to improve. I never want to go back to the terrible feeling of the last two weeks, crushing anxiety, exhaustion, incredible emotional swings like I've never experienced ...

Also, I received my blood test results this morning and I was amazed that liver enzymes, liver function were all in the normal range (thanks Hevyn, Dee, and everyone else, you calmed me suggesting that was likely). The only things they found were that I have pretty high cholesterol and vitamin D deficiency ... I'll take that any day!

So I wanted to say thanks to everyone on SR for the support over the last couple of weeks, it was very helpful hearing from people who have been through this successfully. Let's keep going. I never want to be drunk again. I really feel like if I take up drinking again I am not coming back next time. I feel like I don't have another quit in me. I know I am just scratching the surface at 16 days but finally I can see some hope for recovery and a new and improved life.
