Hello brothers
I am new to this recovery process and looking for support and advice from successful people in recovery
About me I am 39 male and heavy drinker for 15 years. At my peak I was at 24 to 28 beers a day. It cost me my marriage and landed me in the hospital. I am now 28 days without a drink and feel better than ever.. I never have a craving and feel honestly that I owe it all to god. I have noticed since day three that my lymph glands in my neck are slightly swollen. Is this normal?

Welcome!
I am no doctor, so I am unable to give an opinion on your lymph nodes. But YAYAYA, 28 days, that is so fantastic!!!!
Do you have a recovery plan to remain sober and start to heal?
What have you done so far to remain sober?
There are a ton of people here from day 1 to, I am sure well over 30 years!

Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment. 
I would recommend establishing a primary doctor if you don't have one and get blood work done to make sure you haven't done any damage to anything. I wish you the best of luck in success on your journey, it's worth it!

Welcome Bflash711
I've been told by doctors that inflamed lymph nodes can happen when we're run down or ill - or recovering from years of self abuse...
but the only way to know for sure if everything's ok is to see your Dr
