    From the title of your post and its content you sound as though you are in a pretty dark place and wanting something different in your life. If this is correct then I wish you all the very best.

    All the best. One day at a time. Had a dry January which has turned to dry February and my mindset now is for it to be a dry 2017. Look at hello Sunday morning website. Take care

    Thank you. Hi yes yesterday was a bad day from start to finish. Was so low but I'm pleased I had a bad day because it's helped me. I only had 4 drinks, was my first drink in a long time. Feel fuzzy today but ready to change for good because life's too short. If I can improve my life by eating cleaner then I'll try because if I don't then I'll just continue suffering and life's too short for that

    Try your best. I don't know how long you've tried to cut back?You may find that after a few days even your tummy will start to feel lighter. After a few weeks you will feel much better. I tried quitting drinking for a few years but stress always undid me but have to quit forever now as kidney are damaged. Scary stuff. Good luck

    Pains in the left kidney area are often caused by acid reflux/GERD/stomach erosion, not the kidneys. If your kidneys are functioning normally, you might want to look into other possibilities instead of self-treating a non existing condition.

    No but I had the same symptoms you have and it turned out to be stomach erosion and my doctor told me it was very common even for health professionals to make that mistake. Just like pain in the kidney area on the right side often turns out to be gall bladder.
