I am starting at day 1 again today. I will not have a drink today and have been to see GP for a referral to someone who can help me.
I will most definitely not have a drink today, and I hope I won't for a very long time.
Now I can look forward to having no more hangovers, yay!

Well done on going to your GP. It is a start in the right direction. I did it almost 14 days ago and here I am AF and getting better. He presribed AB for me. Stay close, you can do this! Let us know how your referral went.:goodjob::goodjob:

Day two. I can't concentrate on anything and I am so tired I can't be bothered to do anything. I am reading up on all the horrible things alcohol has been doing to my body and why I am craving it. This should be enough to put me off for a little while longer. I'm also limiting my caffeine intake at the moment so I guess I'll be feeling a bit drowsy for a while. Still it is worth it to know that I am recovering. I wonder when I will start to pick up though?

Hi, Downunder

I felt positively horrible for 2 weeks --- tired and cold. I totally babied myself and other than meeting obligations, did exactly what I felt like doing when I felt like doing it. Sounds selfish, I know, but this is a big job you are doing right now and you need to treat yourself well. Treat yourself like you deserve the new life you are making -- because you do !!

That's exactly how I feel! I can't be bothered with anything other than doing the minimum necessary to keep going. Anything else can just wait for now.

The good news is that it passes!!! I feel better now than I have in years! It is wonderful and so worth what you are going through now - please stick with us! :h NS

I am on my first day, taking my Campral and decided since I'm already feeling disgustingly fat and bloated from excessive alcohol consumption, I'm not going to beat myself up because I know being af is going to make my body happy again!! Bit scared about day 2 but I will keep reading these posts!!
Keep up the good work downunder, we are all working through our issues here and it's so great to read your experiences!!

And I've made it through day 3! Taken everyone's advice, been eating well and exercising, not even had sugar or caffeine today. Mood hasn't lifted at all but I know I'm on the right track at least. Nice to hear everyone's encouragement
