Does The Body Detox?

[Babyboomer]

Hi all! I am new here and I have a question. I have been drinking too much for years- binge like mostly. Last six months- daily about a pint of vodka or whiskey at night with snacks. For a million reasons- I stopped and had my last drink Wednesday night. I have found myself sleeping a lot. Tonight I woke up with a strong taste of booze (like vodka & lime)- you know like after a night of drinking. Is this part of my body's detoxification? Slight headache- I have been on no meds except for an occasional Advil. I am eating decent food and exercising.

I would like to pop in here when I get the urge to drink. I don't drink much out- or ever drive drunk. I drink alone and a lot- and I want to stay on this new road, but know that I cannot do it alone.

Thank you!

hi babyboomer that sounds like your body is detoxing and releasing toxins. it comes out of your pores too. drink a lot of water to help you flush out the toxins that your body is getting rid of.

Good going baby boomer, you are in the right place, and it takes a good few days to detox and sweat out all that poison we put into our bodies (god knows I have done it enough!!) Drink plenty as everyone is saying, and try to get as many alcohol free days under your belt as possible, you will feel sooooooooooooo much bettere for it!!

You will get help, support and love at this site!!!:h

Welcome!!!:welcome:

Hello, from one boomer to another. They say that it takes about a week for all the poison to wash out of you. Drink lots of benign fluids and take your supplements. Our bodies have been through a lot and they are screeming out for a little TLC.
Welcome to MWO. You will find lots of support and good advise here and you can have some much needed fun as well.
