LovetoListen,

One of the reasons that I stopped was due to gastrointestinal pain. I have had one friend who died and another two who landed in the hospital due to drinking associated internal bleeding. I am on Day 22 and the pain is gone.

Wow. Now that i now that tape that out that's really long.

My body was a complete disaster. My insides ached. Once I googled if it was possible to have a heart attack in your 20's. The rapid heartbeat was perhaps the craziest part. My blood pressure was consistently 180/something.

My digestion was also unbelievably bad.

All of this is gone.

It's also really nice not sweating all the time and wondering if people noticed. How could they not?
Hello? Did I write this? LOL! ALL OF THIS APPLIED TO ME TO THE T!

My anxiety and depression are improving. Less 'digestive' issues. No red eyes. Skin less dry. No aching legs. No headaches! No foul smelling sweat. Ugh!

Stomach aches have seemed to go away.
Either due to stress or not drinking (or both).
