i am a binge cycle drinker as well with days off work as one of consequences. everyone is unique i know but for me every binge it was harder to recover and cravings WORSE when through that valley.
now have finally surrendered going to AA doing everthing i can TO STAY OFF MY POISON chocolate, soda,etc (usually health nut except for alcohol!?,where there is this strange blank spot) will do anything as they say "sick and tired of being sick and tired"
now by grace day 12
