sick as a dog but so glad it isn't from alcohol

Ugh, i'm running a nasty fever, cough, headache, body aches, chills, sweats...all the good cold stuff but i'm so glad i've come by this cold honestly and it's not a hangover or withdrawls. I'm not saying i'll take this any day of the week but i'll sure take it over what i used to go through!

Yeah, hangovers vs being sick when it is not self-inflicted:

at least when you are sick with a cold or flu, you do not hate yourself for what you did to yourself (again and again) and don't have to worry about what you did, said, spent, etc....no messes to clean up. So, be good to yourself and feel better soon!

I feel the same way.

When I'm sick I always give thanks that it's not drunk-sick and just normal-sick.

take a rest, a little chicken soup, hot tea and nap on the couch...maybe some orange juice?

feel better soon and yes, being sick from a cold is tons better than being self-inflicted sick.

wash your hands!
