Hi again Hopefull, congratulations on the first two tough days. Keep doing what you're doing! I needed reminding to drink plenty of water, take multivitamins and do some relaxation as well as keeping busy.
Alcohol gets our bodies and minds so out of whack, it won't settle down overnight but you don't need to feel this way for much longer. Hopefully you'll feel a bit better each day, that's how it was for me. I quit late last year. Headaches are rare for me now (I get them occasionally like any normal person). I've stopped feel irritable if I can't have a drink - just relieved that I no longer NEED to. My mood is calmer, people don't need to walk on eggshells around me any more. I can see how badly I've isolating myself, wouldn't have people round or even answer the phone at one point, but even that's improving now I feel less guilty. And reaping the benefit of good quality sleep, not drunk sleep. I have to say I don't think I'd have managed this on my own. I reached out to AA in my area and got unquestioning support to help me quit altogether.
