OMG this morning.......

[Ronker]

Well here i am still soldiering on at day (checks sobriety calculator site ) 8, yes eight whole days now.

But get this, I woke up this morning and felt REALLY bad, in fact so bad it was like a hang over, actually at one point when first awake I thought, holy shit did I get pissed last night.... this only lasted a few secs when I realised I obviously didnt but it felt like a hang over, although it only lasted about 45mins till it subsided, but I felt like i had been on the sauce!

Reading the replies to my 30,60,90 post, can alcohol stay in your body this long?? 8 days?

I been breath tested the moring after and ALWAYS passed cos I stop drinking mid evening.

Is this somehow alcohol still leeching out of my system and being expelled by my liver or is it still in my liver 8 days on??

Feel ok now but felt a bit ripped off earlier, hangover no good times the night before...lol

Hi Ronker,
I had the same symptoms for the first month of my sobriety. I use to wake up thinking I had a hangover and it took me a while to realise that I had not. It was the strangest feeling. They say that alcohol stays in your sysytem for about a week so who knows?

Ronker - You could be dehydrated and this will feel like a hangover, make sure you increase your water intake and try to drink herbal teas, this will help flush out the toxins in your body faster. You have just reminded me that in the 1st 6 weeks when I sweated in the gym I smelt rancid and had to stay well away from other people, this was the poison leaving my body.

I also used to get imaginary hangovers in the 1st couple of months which was my subconscious telling me how I definity didnt want to feel ever again.....

OMG this morning.......

Incredible isnt it.

I'm amazed that it can last this long. Its very interesting, every morning seems to bring a new beginning, its good though cos it just makes me more determined not to have to do it all again.

Also I'm about $80 a week better off, which is minimal considering the health benefits, at 47 i aint gettin any younger n its time to start lookin after the old body!!

Hi Ronker
You're body is still healing and getting rid of all the toxins. Like Chill says plenty of water and try to stay away from coffee for a while. I used to shovel down chocolate like it was going out of fashion in the early days and would wake up with a banging headaches not unlike hangovers. It does get better. Honest.

Hi hunni, it's your body detoxing itself. We damage for years and years yet it only takes round about 2 weeks for it all to detox. Drink plenty of water to help was out the toxins. I know what the feeling is like, i had it a week in for a few days. It was horrible but it soon passes!
Well done on 8 days! Stay strong!

OMG this morning.......

Well done Ronker!! yes it does feel crap for a while but you will soon be feeling terrific!!! Sounds like you are having the "hangover" stuff but feeling good the rest of the time?

Maybe it is your body repairing itself while you sleep?

Anywaze - stick with your plan!

OMG this morning.......

[Ronker]

OMG this morning.......

thanks everyone, came in from work tonight, didnt even have my apple juice, felt fine with water, n no inclination to drink.

So glad i'm gettin thru this, maybe the detox course of tabs i took helped me thru first week.

lovin my sleep and after my mini hangovers that last less than an hour i feel good in the day.

I considered a beer with the football last night but didnt, cos i feel i would be back at square one, and i believe this is my one chance to break this habit, so dont wanna stuff it.

I used to sit n think when i get old how will i ever stop this..........so now i have this break i am gonna run with it.

Maybe someone watching over me has given me this chance, i dunno but i appreciate it and not gonna waste it.

hope your all good,

did anyone hear from struggles... saw a desperate post in help?

hope she/he made it

OMG this morning.......

Hey great post and support guys. Everytime I give up the drink I usually start coughing up terrible, colourful mucus... I thought that was a smokers penalty, but I don't smoke. Anyway, hopefully it is just my bodies way of getting rid of the toxins. Only 4 days in on this sober journey.

OMG this morning.......

Glad you'r feeling better Ronkers, it does improve day by day, week by week and when you are on a roll keep rolling is my advice

Took me the first 30 days to actually start to feel better physically and get the alcohol out of my system but it's so worth it.

Dewdrop :h

OMG this morning.......

Evening all....Ronker 8 days in and still feeling hangovers in the morning is quite reasonable. You are still detoxing and you body is going through massive adjustments in all of its chemical make-up. I fell asleep on the couch the other day in the middle of the afternoon and woke up feeling hungover. No big deal, it will pass. After a while you might start getting drinking dreams as well. Keep up the fluids, lay off the caffeine (coffee, diet coke etc. and the sugar) and you will soon feel better. Onwards and upwards. Saffxx
