4 days AF, sore grumpy (boring evenings too)

[ribald]

Hello everyone

:new:

I tried Campral twice yesterday and since then have had really sore stomach, so till I see the doc again no more for me.

Find myself quite grumpy, almost like I get after a few beers.

Sleep is weird, looking forward to waking up fresh. Maybe going to bed too early.

Early days!!

Cheers (with a Diet Coke)

HI Mark,

The first couple of days are hard. I have always found myself quite irritable in the first few weeks. Not that I'm an expert because I can never seem to get past day 24 but I know for me anyway day 5 - 12 I am incredibly miserable. I think it's just the getting used to no alcohol. The sleep I find gets better after about day 7. I have also experienced a sore stomach while going AF - I don't take campral so I'm not sure in your case if it is the campral or just AL withdrawal.

In any case, congrats on your AF time and good luck moving forward!

Congrats on your fist 4 days, Mark!

Uni is right... there seems to be a grumpy, lethargic phase before you get to the 'feeling good' part. Hang in there. You're doing great.

Hi Mark,

Congrats on your 4 AF days!
You may be feeling grumpy & not sleeping well right now but that will pass, promise!
Start focusing on all of the good things that are coming your way
This is a process - things don't happen overnight but they DO happen!

Keep up the good work!

Great job on day 4!
I finally start sleeping better about day 6 or 7 and for me, I don't really get grumpy...just more anxious and on edge. I take Calms Forte for that. Like everyone has said; it'll get lots better. Just keep plugging away! Congrats to you!

Hey!
Just think of it as your body getting its own back for all the abuse you've put it through. It takes a while for the body to detox and for you to feel better. It will happen tho so try stay postive!

Hi Mark,
Just wanted to let you know you are doing great. You will feel 'off' for the first 5 days at least and after that it tends to get better and better. Try to take care of yourself, eat right and drink water with vitamins after food and sleep if you can. I take Dandelion root (for liver) and lots of vitamin B for the first couple of weeks.
You WILL start to feel better as you come out of the fug, so son't be disheartened. Keep your chin up mate, we're rooting for you.
