I had 61 days sober. Drank the day after Thanksgiving for three days, quit one day, drank one day, quit three days. Drank a sixpack last night and feel horrible today. Want a drink so bad but know Ill just feel worse tomorrow. Cant believe I feel so bad after only drinking a six pack yesterday.

That's probably because of the internal conflict you are having. Part of you knows it is not healthy and the other says, come on just a couple of drinks won't kill you.

Welcome to SR! Glad you found us!

I did almost the same thing. I had 40 days without drinking until Thanksgiving. I drank on Thanksgiving and the next two days. Although I didn't loose control like I usually do, I felt really bad the next day. That's the day I joined SR. You will be glad you did too. Posting has been a tremendous help. I had a really good day yesterday and have had a great day today. My cravings are going away and I've been able to ignor that little voice that used to trick me into drinking. I'm looking forward to another sober day tomorrow and the next and next.......

Neway, that's what I call a new way of life ;-)
Good days without hangovers!

Cant seem to pinpoint a trigger. I suppose it boils down to lonliness, boredom and trying to do it all alone. I hope to make some meaningful contacts on this site. You know me and I know you if only by a common affliction but never the less I do need other people. Right now I just feel awful and scared. The mental part is the worse.

Patman,
You got that right!
Spending half the day getting over a hangover and the other half getting drunk is just crazy. I haven't felt this good or happy in a long time.
I really think this place has made the difference.
So glad I joined and started posting. Hope this will encourage people who just visit to sign up.

Welcome to SR blodwyn1!

I know it really sucks going that long then falling victim to the beer patrol. You mention loneliness and boredom? Well, this is the place to be with interaction 24/7. The chat link is very supportive if you just want to hang and talk to anyone about anything. I would have never made it alone without this awesome support group.

Let's go forward and say "no more hangovers"!!

Welcome to the family blodwyn. You don't have to do it alone - we all understand and are here to help.

I had 3 yrs. sober once and decided I could have a glass of wine. I spun out of control very quickly. I think it gets worse every time we relapse. That's why I had to kick it out of my life for good. Trying to control it was exhausting, and it always failed. It was a relief to be through with it.

Happy to have you here with us.
