Tuesday: Still feeling pretty awful (see Monday)
Wednesday: Starting to feel better but still am promising myself that I won't drink come Friday
Thursday: start to turn the corner...
Friday: WhoooHooooo!! Who wants a shot?!
Saturday: Chasing the high from Friday...but usually coming up short
So, I guess what I'm getting at is that even though I'm "only" drinking two nights out of the week...I still feel like I have a problem because of how crappy I feel in the beginning and even middle parts of the following week.
Does this ring a bell to anyone? Are any of you "just" Weekend Warriors? I know that only I can determine if I have a drinking problem but I'm wondering if anyone out there is in the same boat as me.
Thanks for reading...
I was just like that until it started to go downhill fast.
I started to spiral right after I realized I needed to quit drinking but then drank again after a brief stint of sobriety. Within a few months I was needing to leave work early, drinking in the mornings to feel better, and having multiple blackouts in a day...
Catch it now if you can, because it will only get worse, never better.
