Well the holiday proved to much for me at a BBQ all day and I certainly paid for it with a massive headache this morning. This memory and feeling will stay vivid to get me back on the right track. Its possible to stop drinking but I know mentally I never quit. Chalking it up as a learning experience. Moving onward and upwards always. The past is the past.

Hey letitgo, no point in beating yourself up, as you say a learning curve, apply what you have learned with regards holidays in early sobriety and keep moving forward!!

You can do this!!

You'll be able to get back on track It's the people who doesn't realize they did wrong who will have difficulty. You just had a temporary brain fart. lol

I don't know if this will help, but it's helping me. I used to write down all the symptoms, so I could read them back as a reminder, which worked for a while (not fully, as I'm back on day 8). SO, this time, I made a video of myself complete with dull hair, bloodshot and puffy eyes etc and trust me - it's working!!

A video, that's a good idea.
I am on day 3 sober after 11 months of drinking heavy daily. If it helps you to stay on the wagon, I haven't slept in 2 days, shaking, sweating and more. Don't be like me please.

Moving on is all you can do. Good luck.

Hi Krazyleggs. Hope this finds you feeling a little better x I'm sure you know to take in as much water as you can and that the first 3 days are the worst? Hang in there! Do you feel like you might need some medical attention? You're doing great - keep fighting through

Letitgo - Also, hope this finds you feeling less upset and more at peace -

Re: the video - If I get knocked down by a car tomorrow, I swear I will come back and HAUNT anyone who puts it on Youtube lol
