One week to sober up
Well that didn't work.
The day before the event, finding myself completely underprepared I panicked and drank. I worked through the night and got there in a sweaty shivery state having had no sleep. Drank AT the conference (I'd given one shakey presentation I certainly didn't want the second one to go the same way). My anxiety built during the journey home, culminating in convincing myself I was dying at about 3am and another horrible sleepless night.
So, no real sleep for 48 hours, I look and feel a mess and now my family are arriving this afternoon. All good fun.
I was hoping this would be an occasion to prove I could cope with these demanding situations sober. A missed opportunity I think. Never mind, I'll just have to try again.
