Your body is still in transition - probably still detoxing. But look at what a healthy place your mind is in!! Your body will catch up to it soon.

Have a great day. :wavin:

Hi MaxineAnn,

I didn't know it at the time, but alcohol was my Advil, as well. I've been sober almost seven weeks, and I have aches and pains in my shoulders too, and I am more aware of being tired and headachey at times. I think that wine was my all purpose pain killer. I didn't usually drink to the point of hangover, since my tolerance was high.

Now, I just take Advil, and those aches and pains are gone. I don't know how old you are--I'm 51, so I guess I expect to have a few aches and pains. Some may still be sub-acute withdrawal, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were there all along and you didn't notice because of drinking.

Good luck!:l

thats great with day 5. I always notice it is after day 5 I really start to feel good. (A pitiful recognition of how often it has happened). It gets better and better every day after that-

Congrats on making it to day 5. I also can relate to the aches and pains, specifially my head and shoulders. I also grinde my teeth. Although I'm on day 27, I still wake up in the morning feeling like I was hit by a truck. I've been getting restful night's sleep, but waking up and getting started with my day has been tough because of the aches. Before going to bed last night, I took 4 Advil. I also wore my mouth guard. This morning I woke up pain free. I'm wondering if my body is still detoxing. Also, I noticed my anxiety is creeping back again. In the past, I drank to put my anxiety at ease. This time, I'm going to ride out both the anxiety and pain that I experience no matter what. For me, alcohol was one of the key things I used to supress my anxiety.
