Perhaps that 6 months of sobriety reset something in me. If so, I'm very grateful).
Hey matilda. Congrats on day 2! Getting through day 1 is a HUGE accomplishment.
Yes, I've experienced the few-drink hangover phenomenon. I think it can be because of a few things. And yes, your long sober streak probably had something to do with it. When you we're drinking a lot previously your body likely got used to it and upped the enzimes/hormones/etc that it needed to clear out the toxins. Then you stopped, your body healed and it stopped producing everything. Just a guess.
When I stumble after a sober streak it happens to me.
Regardless, CONGRATS again on making it to day 2!
Jsbohdi: Agreed! We're always chasing that great experience, but it happens lees and less as we progress down the rabbit hole of drinking. I can remember 1 or 2 times in the last year where I had that "great" experience.
