Missed work today because of a hangover. Trying to make it through the day with out a drink but it’s “about that time” and I’m struggling.

It’s not going to be easy but you can do it! I’m on day 3 now and have had the sweats, shakes, hallucinations- it was really, really shite but I am already starting to feel so much better. Stay strong and stick with it, it’s well worth it x

There can’t be a day two without a day one! Hang in there! Like everyone says it’s gonna suck at first, but I’m on day 12 and I’m a different person. This time next week you will feel great. I know that crappy feeling when you miss work due to a hangover and how that makes you feel. Good luck! Stay strong
