Hi folks! I just posted over in the newcomers thread too. Today is day 2 for me. I have been stuck in a vicious cycle of binge drinking for a good 20 years. I managed to quit for 4 months almost a year and a half ago, and then went insane and thought I could drink again like a normal person, and started up again. Needless to say, that little experiment did not work out well.
Because mine is a weekend thing, I basically detox every Sunday night. It's hell physically and mentally. Today, oddly, I woke up feeling fantastic, after feeling like death warmed over all day yesterday. The first thought I had today upon waking was, "Oh my god, it feels so good not to be detoxing/hungover..."
I just don't want to feel that way ever again. I just cannot.stand.it.anymore. I'm willing to do what it takes to make it stop.
Edited to add: That little experiment lasted a year and a half. UGH!
Thanks, and I look forward to getting to know you all!
