For those of you who didn't read my original post, I quit drinking my weekly bottle of wine on July 10th, and haven't touched the stuff since. I managed to get the cr*p scared out of me after having a swollen liver for over a week after one bottle of wine.
I am happy to say I feel better than I have in a long time. I'm sleeping better, actually having some deep sleep for a change. The best part was that the huge belly bloat disappeared in the first two or three weeks, and I am continuing to lose weight. I must have lost at least 10 lbs. without trying. I can no longer "feel" my liver, have alot more energy, and have absolutely no desire to ever touch the stuff again. As a matter of fact, I'm actually afraid of alcohol now.
I just wanted to share my experience for others who are going through the first days or weeks without alcohol, or just contemplating quitting. I thought because I only drank a bottle of wine every 5 or 6 days, that it wouldn't affect me physically. And then, one day, it did. With no warning. I've never been more scared in my life, and I'm grateful for the wakeup call.
