Newly soberr

Hi there,

I’m Monique, 16 days ago i was in severe acute liver failure and hospitalized for 14 hours. My enzymes were 647, the normal range is between 9-32. In ten days (6 days ago) I was able to completely heal my liver into normal range and will be able to get the monthly shot shortly. I just be over the moon, but i have such a great weight in my personal life, mainly with work and having to get a lawyer involved that my anxiety and depression is crippling. Theres not enough anxiety medicine to make it better, even naturao remedies and aromatherapy. Now that im not drinking im struggling to manage. Those close tl me say i am handling the situation better than most. But I feel so defeated and Im real worried even though its a winnable case that i wont be able to find a lawyer. Anyway. Thanks for listening, just struggling.

Welcome Monique.
Congratulations on your 6 days. Whatever your dealing with, doing it sober will eventually be easier.
Working my gratitude list here helps a lot with my anxiety. We got so much to be grateful for when we are sober. Have a good read around. Join in when your comfortable.

Congratulations on 16 days! I’m really glad to hear you were able to recover your liver function. The further I get from drinking, the better my anxiety gets- I’m hoping you will find that too. With that said, I understand anxiety can be so intense and consuming.

Welcome to the group!

Oops. Typo. I meant 16. Didn’t mean to rip you off of the hard word those first 10 - 16 days is.
Great job.

Hi :raising_hand_woman:
Welcome to the community and congratulations on your 16 days.
I find meditation really helps my anxiety when it begins to get debilitating. It took me a while to get the hang of it and i didnt think much of it at first but to my surprise it has done wonders for me mentally.
I also drinks lots of chamomile tea in the evenings and that helps too, if iv got myself into flurry i dont notice the calming effect much, but if im already calm it seems to help alot.
I hope things fall into place for you with your situation and try not to worry yourself so much about the things you only have so much control over i find for me i wear myself out physically and mentally and i have to let go.
Im so glad to hear your health is better this is amazing news.
Your doing brilliant and you have all of us here now so your not alone okay :hugs::hugs:
So many caring and supportive people here.
