Good luck to you Boris. It's never too late to re-invent yourself. Easier said than done, I know. But it is possible. Never give up. Once your hangover is over you can really think clear and make a new beginning. Good luck with your mate too.

I often remind myself that no one will
take my sobriety/recovery more seriously
than I will. No one is responsible for me
and my recovery except me.

Admitting I had a drinking problem 23yrs
ago after family pulled an intervention
on me placing me in the proper hands
for help, that became my first step in
recovery. Being fed and taught information
about my addiction and its affects on my
mind, body and soul, allowed me to
accept my addiction which became a
second step. Then over time I came to
believe that following a program of
recovery each day could and would
help me remain sober for a many one
days at a time to get me where I am
today.

Don't give up Boris. You can do this. Please don't tell yourself otherwise. Misery or freedom.

My hangovers last for several days often.

I heard from someone that a hangover is actually alcohol withdrawl. Our bodies really do crave it, supplies low. This is probably pretty obvious, but this alcoholic never put this 1+1 together! Whatever it takes to maintain sobriety friend.

The only difference between a hangover, a badddd hangover and alcohol withdrawals is just a matter of severity, one's unpleasant the other end of the scale can be life threatening. You have to use your judgment about when to get medical help. Good luck.

Boris - absolutely the best thing to do. You will start to feel a bit better as your body gets rid of the toxins. Maybe this evening you will feel like something to eat.

Hi, Boris. alcohol usually leads to an increasing desire to a diminishing pleasure. It is never satisfied. I would suggest getting some outside help instead of just quitting on your own.

Hey - Boris? Not heard from you - are you ok?

Hangovers last longer as you get older .

Try this , at least if you don't want to totally quit ,Leave the hard stuff and wine alone ,
If you MUST drink ,only drink light beer .

Its a bit slower to get in your system and sure worked for me .

Hi there Boris - I'm still checking in to see if you've posted! Hope you are well

Boris, would you call yourself an alcoholic or just a heavy drinker?
For me hangovers always heralded a fresh resolve to quit drinking. Unfortunately my addiction had a very short memory. Also, a switch to Vodka is really upping the stakes. Been there. Not pretty.
What will you do if your partner decides to leave?

The shift to vodkia is the beginning of the end ,or was 4 me

And remember, it is progressive. Hangovers only get worse with time, not better. I remember my last hangover. I hold that memory close and try not to forget it. And then I try to imagine feeling worse than I did that day.
