Hey Cheeto,

I just wanted to thank you for your honesty and your updates. I'm only about 8 weeks in and have so many of the same feelings you have - and it is a relief to know I am not alone. I am absolutely hating this time and having to drink and wait. Having said that, if I am honest with myself, I'm not sure I could white knuckle it and quit anyway - so WTH ....I might as well just keep putting my days in. I am having depression, weird mini hot flashes at night (not full on, but less extreme), interrupted sleep, rough mornings, and I am also afraid I am doing permanent damage to my liver and that I am going to drop dead because of my drinking too (I'm 42).

This really does suck. I'm so thankful that there are the rest of you here so I have people to talk to and some way to gauge what is normal. I can't wait for my own healing but honestly, I can't wait for yours either. I have so much love and compassion for us all as we do our best as the Nal does its work.

xoxo

Hang in there. It took me several years before alcohol lost its grip on me.

BTW, I too had awful side effects. I found that taking chlorella really helped.
