I've been tracking my drinks for 2 years, first time I reach such a sober streak - and I feel really better!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I have been keeping tabs on my body temp and heart rate. They seem to be the first signs that you best get to the ER immediately.
Also there is a CIWA-Ar calculator. I hit pretty low when it comes to what I'm experiencing. I was tapering pretty good before I said enough is enough.
But I really appreciate your concern and taking the time to msg me about it. I did find a new concern on the page you sent, the B1 effects. God knows I have no desire to eat anything right now, but I may just have to force it.
Thanks again!
Soup, or ramen. Easy foods man. Stuff like miso soup since you can basically just drink it.
lol thats exactly I did, I had a bowl of soup not even 20 minutes ago! I got some really good ramen too in the pantry that will be next! Great advice, than you!
Also you get all the ice cream you want
Dude after I went from 10+ drinks every day to almost every day having zero, I was ASTOUNDED at how much I could eat while still losing weight. Turns out 1,000-2,000+ calories of drinks in a day translates to a LOT OF TREATS! I’ve plateaued now and never was a really huge person, but I just gorged and had treats all of the time every day after the initial hell week and lost 20% of my weight. I’m back to tiny and I still eat almost a half pint of ice cream daily heyo yeeee
