Ever since I joined and made my first thread, I've gone through three relapses over the course of about 3 weeks. No trigger, just letting the alcoholic voice overpower my logical, reasonable voice. But after Monday night (currently back at day 3,) I think I've truly come to terms with the fact that enough is enough. Missed two hours of work Tuesday battling one of the worst hangovers I've ever had, including the splitting headache, brutal nausea and anxiety, and overall feeling of absolute discomfort. Passed out in my car, parents had to drag me into the house, the whole 9 yards. Guess that's what 3/4 of a fifth of brandy and 3 tall beers will do. I had the intention of "I'm only going to have a few shots." We've all gone through that. I haven't been an active alcoholic for as long as a lot of people (just about 4 years, give or take one. Can't even remember.) My main question is, for the ones who've been sober long enough to tell, what are some of the things that got you over the hump? Over the past few months I've been realizing more and more what I need to do to keep myself on the right path. I'd just like to know what are some really healthy foods you enjoy? What kind of exercise and/or meditation techniques do you use? What do you enjoy doing with your time now besides drinking? I'm pretty sure there are threads on this exact topic, but it's always good to get some updated answers.
