The giving up/cutting down alcohol support thread!

Molly, it does take a while to recover after quitting the booze, but it depends on how much you drank before. I know from my one and only previous quit it was around the 30 day mark when I actually woke up and thought I felt normal. Hang on in there and keep going, I'm taking a vit supplement as well, maybe that might help for you? I'm taking a multi-vit but make sure it's got a B12 supplement cos this gives your liver a speedier recovery. Eat lots of green veg too, dark green veg. This helps the liver which in turn makes you feel better

Re the smilies, same thing happens to me. I find I have to open the smiley window, click back into my message and click where I want to insert it, then go back to the smilie and click it to insert otherwise it ends up at the top of the message!

You know what, I have so much time in the morning now, I'm not doing anything differently but normally I'm rushing around like a blue-bummed fly trying to get me and the kids out the door in the morning but since I've been waking up un-hungover'ed I've had time to even check my emails!

Right better go work before I'm late, don't really have time to sit on here all day

How's everyone else? YM, hope it's going well, is it day 3?

Leigh, please post and let us know what's happening with you x

morning molly (moody cow) do you feel much better after 3 weeks off the ale?
I mean physically

mollypolly

Yeah.Morning AB.
I really do feel better. My skin is clearer and my eyes are sparkling again and I do feel wonderful when I wake without a hangover.
Day 22 today so only 8 days left to Jo's magical 30.Hope I feel really back to normal then.This weekend was really hard.I really needed a drink.Oh well.Maybe its hormones.
Think I will get some Multi-vits today as Jo suggested.See if they buck me up a bit.

As for the smilies.When I open the window and click back to my post the window closes again.

See you later.Love Mollypolly xxxx

Your skin is probably enjoying being re-hydrated Jo. Keep it up.
