today's day 6 and I'm in hospital. withdrawals are almost gone but they've upped my seroquel from 50mg to 300mg and it's like the worst hangover ever. I used to drink 30 beers a day and not feel this bad.

Dude. Seroquel is a sledgehammer. I feel ya there. Congrats on day 6!!!

You keep trying and that is the important part. Do not give up. Most of us have had multiple tries too. πŸ’œ

Just two more for a solid week! You’re almost there!!

I knoooowwww! I'm sure my liver is like "Yo. What's all this hydration doing here?!?!?!" πŸ˜‚

But for real, I'm more excited this time than I've ever been in the past!

Let's kick this shit!

A month before I quit last year I had a CT scan of my heart. Came back saying I had the beginnings of fatty liver disease. I want a new CT done so badly to see the improvement!!

Bruhhhhh I bet it's looking fantastic! It'd be motivating af to see the difference between then and now!

And I'm glad you caught it at the beginning stages! Good on you for making the necessary changes! It feels like an impossible task sometimes!

Day 2,385: I will not drink today, in solidarity with you. 😊

[–] Zerlyna 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy crap that is awesome!!! πŸ’œ

Thanks! It gets a lot easier as time goes on. There are definitely some days though, especially during 2020, where I had to go back to the "I will not drink today" mantra.
