I have drank too much for years. 1.5-2 bottles of wine a night every night I got to during lockdown. A couple of weeks ago, husband and I drank 6 bottles between us one Sunday.
It is not healthy and I stopped over a week ago but I'm not feeling any different yet. Worse if anything.
I'm awake until 3am, up at 8am, I thought my sleep would have improved by now. I have taken kalms tonight but it just gave me a headache
I still wake up fuzzy headed and dazed, maybe see above
I have lost a couple of pounds, I am probably 3000 calories down as I'm not eating junk all day, I thought it would fall off me.
My skin is awful, so so spotty, is it the hydration returning?
My breath could knock a horse out, teeth feel constantly furry, what's that all about?
I cannot concentrate at all. I got new books to keep me busy and help me sleep but I am reading the pages over and over and have no idea what's happened.
Plus side is the cravings are decreasing a touch, very very slightly although husband is still drinking. I am just upstairs avoiding it so maybe not sustainable
I am just feeling it is not worth it, I feel worse than ever, when are all these magical benefits going to happen? I know if I had a glass or 2 of red I could be asleep within minutes. I am so so tired but I cannot sleep
