When I was drinking heavily, I would wake up in the morning and have the dry heaves. Sometimes it was just for a minute or two. Sometimes it would continue until I threw up. Bile or food. Or my morning coffee. In my case, it was stress related. I was never so stressed as I was the morning after heavy alcohol consumption. Between the guilt, the hangover, my interrupted sleep and my messed up blood sugar levels, my morning stress levels were horrible. So, what did I do to deal with the stress? I drank. And so continued the cycle. Day after day.

In the 5 1/2 months since my last drink, I have not thrown up once. Not once.

For me, that is reason enough (among the 429 other reasons) not to drink again.

Good luck, Sydney1988.
