Grab some of your favorite candy. Keep a glass of OJ with a spoon of sugar in it. Hang in there it will go away.

Hang in there! I’ve had a lot of day 3’s… for me 1,2&3 were the worst! 4 and beyond keeps getting better! One day at a time! I liked showers or baths, keeping busy and hydrated and sleeping! Keep fighting the good fight Amiga! :call_me_hand:t3: :v:t3:&:blue_heart: :sunglasses:

Stay hydrated, eat if you can, get to a program or meeting… and most importantly be kind to yourself! Don’t try to fix everything in a hurry, you got time to do that when you are in a better headspace. Congrats on day 3. It does get easier as you go along.

Buy a gallon jug and fill it with water everyday. Drink the whole thing everyday. When you’re thirsty drink, when it’s gone it should be bout bed time

Eat something. Something greasy and fatty to soak up the booze in your body. Drink water. Go to a meeting (even if you look like :poop:).

A nice hot bath with Epsom salts helps too. Lavender oil if you have some. The magnesium really helps.
