This is my first post. I'm not writing much because I have a massive hangover and feel sick. My husband doesn't know it's a hangover. I drank half a bottle of vodka (which I had hidden in the garage) on top of my wine last night. Today Ive poured the rest away and wrapped the empty up and put in the bin. Today will be easy because I feel so ill.

Welcome minnieminx, there is lots of support here. Glad you have joined us.

Welcome! I have been where you are.

Try drinking beef broth to settle your stomach. That is the only thing that worked for me. Hopefully you have some boullion around or can get some soon.

After you get done being hungover, what is your plan?

Hi minnieminx. Im back and forth on this site because I keep goofing up and hurting myself with beer and all that trash. I want to stay a recovered member on this site. You can too!

Have you ever been to an AA meeting?

Good decision!
We must stop consuming alcohol when alcohol starts to consume us.

Welcome, minnie. I am glad you are here with us.

Welcome. When I started to feel better alcohol would tell me it wasnt that bad, that one drink will not hurt. I had to have a plan that did not rely on will power alone. I tried many things but AA worked for me

Welcome to SR minnieminx!
I hope your hangover eases soon. There is lots of support around here for those of us sick and tired of the hangovers and ready to stop drinking.

to SR! Do you have any support in real life? Have you considered going to meetings? I see a counselor and come to this site every day. It's kept me sober almost four years now. You can do this!

minnieminx

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Elisabeth, I am aiming for 4 weeks to start. I'd like to just stop forever but that sounds too frightening.

Welcome, Minnie. In the beginning, taking it day by day, really takes the "daunting" factor out it. One day at a time will turn into weeks before you know it . . .

InsaneHeart

Congrats Minnie for taking that step. Do you have a plan to help you stay sober...meetings perhaps?

Check out the Books section at the top of this forum for good reading material. It's sure helping me.

minnieminx

yes DD, the one day at a time is a better idea. As I was typing 4 weeks, I was already thinking about next weekend and my birthday in a couple of weeks and how I would cope!

I haven't been to AA. The stigma and the fear of seeing someone I know and the religion puts me off.

InsaneHeart

I'm not going to meetings either, my anxiety keeping me away, but I am working the 12 steps.

This forum is amazing for support. I've been on here virtually non-stop for a couple weeks, when I'm not working, and I KNOW that it has helped me stay sober. Even if you don't post a lot, reading others posts is invaluable.

minnieminx

I'll check out the books thanks. I've got 2 or 3 on my kindle. I worry about friends and family going through my book list though and seeing them. I haven't told anyone how bad I think it is getting.

Have you considered seeing a doctor for a proper detox?

minnieminx

and yes I'll definitely be coming in here every night. That's what Ive planned for tonight. A pot of tea and a good read through these threads

minnieminx

No sugarbear. I didn't know there was such a thing. How bad do you have to be?
