    East,

    You will feel some better tomorrow, and the next day, and before you know it you will be feeling better than you have in a long long time.

    Once past a week it gets a whole lot easier.

    The supps will help a lot when they get there, too!!

    Take care and hang in there. Pretend you're just sick and need rest and TLC.

    Love,
    Cindi

      Hi Eastender and Welcome!!

      From my experience, day 5 AF (and day 4) and two of the hardest. Your body is detoxing and you are going to feel foggy, irritable etc, etc.
      Is there a reason that you are doing it without the supps?? They really do make a difference and aid your body as it deals with going AF.
      You will feel better tomorrow if you stay AF. If you drink now, you will be disappointed in yourself and very probably, hungover. You will wake with that awful 'Why did I do that?' feeling. Cravings (the chiller calling your name) come and go. Keep busy and don't give in!!!
      Just keep reading and posting........
      Hope it goes well.

        Eastender... Day five can be a toughie, but that is really the end of the real tough part. It gets much easier once you hit day 6.. You will DEFINATELY feel better tomorrow! And take it from me, you don't want to do the day 1-5 more than once, so stay strong and stay close by today/tonight.

        I TOTALLY understand about the husband thing. Ihave a wonderful, supportive husband, but one that also doesn't think I have a problem that wouldnt be cured by just Moderating - EASIER SAID THAN DONE! I handle my wine pretty well 99% of the time, so he really didn't know how much of a struggle it was and is for me. In addition, he really likes taking me out for a few glasses of wine after work, or sitting in the evening. If it were only that easy for me... my mind gets too wrapped up in it.. before, during and after. Just too exhausting..

        Anyway, hang tight!

          You will feel better tomorrow.

          It's true. I've been thru it many a time. Day 6 is the "over the hurdle" day.

          Good work, keep it up.

          And take your supps, for g-ds sake. They help immensely.
          Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life... And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

                East,

                You should really read the MWO book, or Seven Weeks to Sobriety about the supps. Alcoholics DO need special vitamin/mineral because of damage to our brains, livers, kidneys, gallbladders, YIKES!!

                The supplementation helps our bodies replete those things that are in low supply due to the drinking.

                This is actual KNOWN and UNDERSTOOD science, not "touchy feely" stuff.

                (Although, I like the touchy feely stuff, too!!)

                Perhaps someone will jump in and give East at least a good basis for what to start with? That way it is not all coming from me. :H

                  Hold steady, East....the rough bit will pass.....just tell yourself that drinking is not an option. When the chiller calls just go and do something else to occupy your mind and hands!

                  My basics for supps would be a good multi vit/mineral, l-glut and Milk Thistle


                  Stay strong!
