Looking back, the anxiety after my last bender was probably the single most important thing that finally forced me to do "whatever it takes". Self-hatred, hopelessness, thought I was going crazy, ready to check into the mental health ward - the blackest feelings I have
ever had. And this on top of the physical withdrawal - shaking, exhausted, starving but can't eat, heart racing, cold sweats.
And for me, the mental anguish did get worse & worse after each bender. I can't imagine what the next time would be like. That old saying comes to mind "I just don't know if I have another recovery in me".
