Went out on a date night with the husband. This rarely happens due to our work schedules. I gave in and had some beers with dinner, and of course continued to drink until bed. Woke up with a horrible migraine and vomiting. I’ve been doing well, working out all the time, feeling more positive, and then this today. So frustrating.
Try to figure out why you decided to drink. Usually after the first one its very hard to stop. And most of us love to drink not just for a little but alot. I know did. I didnt drink to get a buzz I drank to get wasted lol. So now i just have to tell myself that before I think about having that first one and remembering where it all leads since Ive done it a million times and it never brings me anything good.
How many days sober?
Don’t stop trying. Don’t look at this as a reason to continue but as a way to learn more about yourself and to know your triggers. Maybe date nights need to be a date day doing something active? Somewhere away from any temptation. We are all here for you and don’t give up
Only like 4 days. I have one here and there but not binges like this. Frustrating.
Stories from alcoholics that I hear have a reoccurring tone.
People who lapse/relapse tend to go more extreme compared to their last stint.
Be careful and be strong!
I can relate to this post SOOO well… I could’ve written it myself! I’m almost 24 hours in after my own binge last night.
Thank you for this. (hug)
I love tea!!! I also collect cool mugs! I love lemon and ginger teas…pretty much anything with lemon.
Try to think of something fun to do. Read a book, play video games, watch a movie. Anything but drink and you have succeeded.
Same green tea helps me a lot.
