Wanna share some of the health improvements since it's been 20 days sober.
I am seeing a medical doctor and a dietician.

The day I quit, my liver panel looked like a black out bingo card.

I was severely anemic and had almost no vitamin C, D or A in my body.

Basically I was malnurished. The dietcian put me on a unique diet of high protein (lots of organ meat, like beef liver and chicken livers) and a very high complex carb diet. Which I am sticking to religiously.

I just saw the doc today for more blood work.

The anemia is gone. My liver panel is looking much better (I'm detoxing with a lot of water)

I've got vitamins and minerals back in my body.

And I can't tell you how much better I feel!

This is the one thing addicts don't think about it, because we don't eat... what this is doing to our whole body not just our liver.

I just wanted to share that news with you guys, that my health is improving.

1. excellent! I saw your post over in C&B and was happy to hear it
alcoholism is a brutal disease and it's certainly not all mental

4. One of the things that happened after I quit, many years ago, was
that I became regular.

5. This is great, KyndCulture.
One of the ongoing benefits of sobriety is our health
improves, and it continues to improve.

One of the first things I noticed was that I able
to get a good nights sleep.

Passing out does not qualify as sleep!

;-)
