"Being a high functioning alcoholic takes a TON of work... powering through and seeming normal when you're wrestling an addiction is a herculean feat. If you've managed to do that for so long, you can manage to quit. It's uncomfortable and unpleasant sometimes but so is going to work with a secret hangover."
Yes. This!! Can't even count how many times I've powered through with a hangover. People used to think I didn't get hangovers. Oh no, I sure did!! I just wouldn't let on that I had one. Ugh! So glad I'm not doing that anymore.
