Day 29 and feeling fine. I have absolutely no desire to drink. This is all because of that horrible foot pain that I was in a state in for four days (which lingered for an additional week), hopping everywhere-even Disneyland in the rain. It was really painful. The pain conditioned my brain to say "no, we're not doing that inflammatory thing anymore." I hope no one ever experiences this. Some people mentioned it was gout, doctor didn't know what it was. All I took was 800mg of Ibuprofen, which helped. It's still like a whisper sometimes when I wear the wrong shoes. I'm avoiding almost everything inflammatory - nightshades, alcohol and some caffeine. I still need that for work. What was your severe pain if you had any?

Glad that a horse size pill of ibuprofen worked for you. I had some strange gastro issues that the doctors couldn’t figure out. At some point my primary doctor suggested it was stress related. He started asking lots of personal questions, but I just denied it all and said I have no stress. I was losing a lot of weight (I was pretty lean to begin with). Anyway, once I got sober/clean and began living a proper life, it all went away pretty quickly. The Doc was right…it was all stress related
Crazy how stress can do that!
