The giving up/cutting down alcohol thread part VI

Familygirl_2

Hi everyone!

Obviously all cases are treat individually and I can't just give you an easy answer.. unfortunately! But I can give you a few tips and a little advice to look after yourselves. Perhaps it'll even be tips you'll already know!

1. Don't go cold turkey and give up all at once, it won't do your body and good and will make you feel worse. Cut down gradually, glass by glass, then maybe choose something lower in %.
2. Eat!! Your body desperately needs nutrition and cannot find any in alcohol.
3. Drink plenty of water to flush out your system, and your liver. Hot water and lemon is really good first thing on a morning.
4. Liver damage is such a major issue and yet shows little or no symptoms. Really look after your liver by cutting down on your alcohol consumption, taking vitamins (milk thistle is good for the liver), lots and lots of water.

Hang in there Fay - have a big glass of squash or a cuppa or eat something (remember how you don't like food and alcohol together)

Play bejewelled blitz on FB and pass the time pass the time, the craving will pass

3 for me please Fay - I know what you mean about some evenings being so much harder than others. Nightmare. I just keeping going over all the reasons for cutting down - am panicking now about Family Girls post re liver damage - if it has no symptoms how do you know if you have it - also can you make it better again?

FG - put me out of my misery and tell me please!
