Just wondering if you had developed medical conditions because of the drinking. If so, did your problems improve when you quit/moderated? I don't know if I have actual health problems but during my withdrawals, I get a gnawing pain in my upper right quadrant. This usually goes away within 2-3 days when I abstain. I also don't notice any pain when I'm drinking, just when I have overdone it (the next morning). I'm a 37 year old female (6 ft. 1 and 170 lbs.) :thanks:

Did you recover from any drinking related health problems
Hi ModerationNow,
A long period of drinking does cause health problems, be it a fatty liver, high cholestrol, lipods, pancreatic problems, diabetes, bowel problems etc, etc. The good news is that our bodies can be very forgiving and often with abstaining or moderation most of the damage will be repaired. Us women have to be a bit more careful as we tolerate alcohol less than men but with changes to our habits you will fell much healthier in next to no time. Your body is telling you that you are hurting it so time to do something about it. Good luck and hope to see you post more in the near future.
Regards
Diana

I would get some pains just beneath my bottom rib on my left side. I know it's my stomach in that area, as I asked a doctor once. I haven't felt that pain since I stopped, and it's only been 11 days. The body is amazing at healing itself.where does this go?Comment
