Don't listen to the AV! Remember what happened the last time you drank? I know you don't want to go through that again.

Patricia, drinking isn't worth it. Play the tape through: how would you feel in the morning? I drank last night and I'm sitting at my desk getting more nauseous by the minute. It's gross. Don't inflict this pain on yourself.

It doesn't matter, I know it's just my AV making excuses again.!

Kim and Sadie, I'm sorry you're feeling bad. I freakin HATE hangovers. You think I'd learn.
Patricia I can't even remember how cool I thought I was in my 20s.
Now I'm 44, feel like I don't know a darn thing. I get the lost drift very clearly !
Don't do it today - drink, I mean .
--Just finish today and heck with tomorrow. It's nothing we all can get to til then.

Hugs to all. Sadie I can relate 100%! Got drunk on a business trip in July and made a total fool of myself in front of several colleagues. Had to suffer through the worst hangover while acting like I wasn't at a customer site. Felt so terrible physically and mentally and spiritually for the rest of the trip.
I go on a big trip in several weeks and am determined to not do that to myself again.
Hang in there you will overcome this. I promise.
You too Kim and Patricia. I hope you got out for a walk Patricia, exercise does wonders, even if it's hard to get moving...,

Sadie, travel was always very hard for me. Not proud to admit to this now, but I have an ex who travels a lot on business-- whenever I would travel he would arrange to meet me and we'd connect over drinks. He drinks a lot; so did I. We'd close out every bar and wander around looking for more ways to get alcohol. Those trips were the absolute worst and after being up all night drinking with him I'd have to go to some conference room and be "on" all day. The last time was so bad I was sick in bed for two days after the conference and had to extend my stay.
I am so glad those days are over, though the ex doesn't yet realize that my sobriety will be the end of those meetups. I think about what I did when I was drinking and I'm just hugely horrified and embarrassed at my stupidity. I'm sure he would be too, if he'd ever sober up.

Today was brutal. I took an extra dose of benzos and smoked 5 cigarettes, but I didn't drink.
I feel like I'm fighting a war on two fronts.... actually 3 fronts! Alcohol, benzos, nicotine...what did I get myself into?
I know some people have done it. I know it can be done. It's just brutal...
But I want to be free! I want to be free so bad!
