What does everyone do to stay sober when they are getting sick? I know I always drank when I felt a cold coming on so I wouldn’t have to deal with all the aches, pains, sore throats and whatnot. I’m getting some really rough cravings right now cuz I just don’t wanna feel like this or deal with it alone -.-
Sorry you’re feeling bad Steve. I noticed the colds don’t seem to be as bad or last as long. I would say eat what you can,chill doing what you like, and rest. Stay hydrated, water or juice. Let us know how you are doing.
Yes when I can finally lay down I will put this on
Your right, I took myself and a friend out to some sushi dinner and it did raise my spirits a bit but now I am ready to go home but I have another hour drive back
I have sticking to the basics - just Advil, Vaporub and a humidifier. I was at the pharmacy looking at the liquid cough medicines I usually buy and was shocked to find out that many can contain 10-40% alcohol volume.
Lemon water. I used to drink emergen-c but that has a lot of sugar in it. Now every morning I squeeze a whole lemon into a glass of water and drink it with breakfast. I don’t get sick like I used to since I started. And I’ve come to love it. When I feel sickness coming on, I’ll have a second glass at night and it knocks the sickness out. Lemons are also great for detox. Anyway, I hope you feel better.
I love lemon water, im drinking a glass right now…
Lots of rest, vapor rub, Tylenol, hope you get to feeling better soon…
A good cold remedy is called “golden milk” you can google the recipe. I also put vaporub on my feet and cover with socks, while running the humidifier with drops of lavender essential oil. Keep it natural and good broth and teas. Feel better
Your not Al be my friend. You always have your HP no matter what and us that are here to support you. One day at a time Buddy and you can do it. Your in my prayers and best wishes to you.
So Steve,how are you doing? Hope you’re feeling better.
It’s about 130 pm here near chicago and I’m still in bed. Took some 12 hour medicine about an hour ago. I’m gonna get up and buy a thermometer soon to see if I have a fever. If I do I’m going to give my Dr a ring lol
Celestial Seasonings has some great hot teas for when you are sick. They have one called throat tamer and another that’s echinacea sleepytime. I know you mentioned your throat was sore. Teas always make me feel better. Get well soon!
Yes tea is my favorite, i have a pot on rn.
I drink lots of tea. I have not been sick since I quit drinking, though! I used to get sinus infections and colds about every 2 months. Iowa’s crappy weather doesn’t help, though. Anyways. Emergen-c, lots of tea, and water. Get some rest!
