This time my body started degrading bad. At night my elbows started aching, along with my shoulders and arms from laying on them too long, and the night of the first the ball of my left foot started pinching to where I can't walk. I've been staying away from alcohol (only one day under the belt which feels like an eternity) and drinking tea with tumeric, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and star anise to reduce the swelling. Ice pack, raising foot too. A lil better today, but still pinched. Only 39. Anyone else experienced body aches and pains? Did it jar you to stop too?

Well I'm 40 had pains for a while now but they did get worse as I got sober it's because your body isn't masking it with booz anymore it will pass

Naltrexone is worth a shot. It helped me. I no longer take it a year plus later. Ask your therapist about it. Also quitting alcohol alone and being an alcoholic is dangerous. The physical dependency can become too much stress on your body. You can win but be very careful with no guidance. Check out better help if you would like a guide in your own home at your own pace.

Personal question was weed harder to give up then meth cause I found meth coke and MDMA easyier then weed
Nat, yeah my physical ailments from drinking became unbearable. Not to mention the mental and spiritual labyrinth of misery.
I have used these memories to stave off the next drink, many times in the last 16 years of sobriety. Thanks to the AA program I never have to feel like that again🙏
I’m here if you ever want to talk or have any questions
Are you directing your question to me or that guy up there, Evan? If me, my answer is I don't know, I am not familiar. I have heard everyone has different reactions to everything.

After 40 years of heavy drinking I could almost feel my organs yelling at me! My cardio is alot better now and I don't sweat as much anymore. Most of all, I enjoy getting a good night's rest and not waking up with anxiety
Yelling! Eesh. Your present state sounds great. Oh I know about those night sweats and day sweats!
My flexibility in jiu jitsu has changed 100% since I cut out alcohol.
