Day 2 Sober
Hi Everyone! I made it to Day 2 which I know is not a lot but still relieved I made it through one day. I had one of the worst hangovers a few days ago that finally made me ready to try to eliminate alcohol.
I have some symptoms that are worrying me and wanted to ask if anyone else has experienced them during alcohol detox.
1. My right foot is very tingly and keeps feeling like it might go to sleep. I also have an ache on my thigh. I wouldn’t consider it painful but it’s uncomfortable. Almost feels like it’s a little warmer then usual too. (What’s strange is that it’s just on my right side of body...not left)
2. My skin is very itchy!
3. I have zero energy and light headed.
4. My hands also feel a little shaky and I have this overall feeling of being anxious. Getting random little pains in my arms too.
Has anyone had these symptoms? Worried if I should go see a doctor or not. To give you some background on myself I am 33 years old, I’m in pretty good shape since I exercise 5 days a week, and I’ve been drinking heavy since I was about 27. I did get my liver and blood levels checked one year and everything was fine.
Appreciate anyone’s thoughts. Have a nice day everyone.

Congrats on 48 hours+!! I also experienced the nerves and anxiety but that will get a little better every day you don't drink. I've never had any of the other symptoms you do, but keep an eye on the warm, uncomfortable keg thay it doesn't get worse or spread. A friend of mine has cellulitis and that is how he describes it.

Congratulations on day 2, that is a big accomplishment and you should be very proud. I think all of what you mention is pretty normal, I got very itchy too, shaky hangs, anxiety, etc. But if it is worrying you a trip to the doctor will only take an hour or so and you can clear your mind of it.

Thank you for your replies! I’ve made it to Day 3 woohoo! I feel much better today so far. I think a lot of what I was experiencing was stress and anxiety which wasn’t helping my symptoms. It’s amazing how much better you sleep when you are sober. Have a nice weekend everyone.
