FeenixRising,
I just relapsed and this is my first day off after a four day binge. I just got on two weeks holidays and I had a lot of spare time. It's the boredom that gets me, the same as you.
I get so amped up from not drinking for an extended period of time, I feel like I need to drink to calm down, but I never seem to get to my point of satisfaction where I'm sedated and can just sit and relax. I thought I'd be able to taper or just have a one day binge and then off the booze, but the one day just makes me want to keep going the next day. I don't really get the physical hangover. When I do is when I stop, but my issue is that I get awful mental hangovers.
Ugh.. hate it. Hate booze, hate it.
