this is day one, the horrible hangover
So yesterday I went on a pretty nasty and embarrassing drunk. I blacked out for most of the day and I am still trying to put together what happened. I have one of the worst hangovers right now. The kind where nothing is comfortable. My body just aches. I feel like yesterday was enough to make me think I can't drink like everyone else. I am taking it one day at a time now. Any tips on to make this hangover less severe?
Oh yeah, been there done that over and over. So happy that insanity is gone from my life. It's mentally exhausting isn't it?
Welcome tidruid, if you're serious about ending the madness you'll find heaps of support here. SR is a wonderful resource in recovery.

The horrid hangovers and shame of blackout drinking was only enough to keep me sober for a couple days. Once the memory faded I always went back to it, thinking "This time it will be different."
The only time it was different was when I quit for good. If you are serious about not drinking again, put something in place (a recovery plan) that will insure you don't pick up again when your hangover fades.

"I'm sure there are people I need to apologize to..." God I don't miss those mornings (and afternoons, and nights.) Be honest with yourself and start planning how you are going to make lasting changes. Signing up here is a good first step. Good luck, we've all been there, you are not alone.

I would say savour it. Live though the hell of it and then keep that memory close as you attempt to give up. I'm 11 days in and I needed a cold hard shock at the start to get me going but that's just me...
I have found that for me there is a difference between "sobriety" and "recovery".
My recovery actually began 2 years ago, July 22,2011 with a hangover that actually split me from myself.
At its worst point, I left my body and I was hovering over myself watching myself vomit bile while simultaneously both urinating and defecating from the both the toxicity and the force of the purge. I'm not sure if my heart stopped that day and if I had died. But one thing I knew for absolute sure was that it was the beginning of the end.
I remember as I bounced back into myself that I wanted to feel every last moment of that pure torturous hell so that I would never, ever ever ever allow myself to feel that way again.
How I didn't die, I will only attribute to Divine intervention.
I did continue to drink thereafter. Never to that extent again. And never again was able to take a drink since that moment without pure remorse. That is the day my recovery started and will forever be my before and after moment with this disease.
Please be well dear one.

Sure, I have a sure-fire solution to any hangover, heck, to any problem. I have found that the longer I'm sober the better this solution works; in 2+ years my life has just been better with each day, especially the hangovers! Sobriety! it works wonders on the body and Soul!
Give it a try, it works, One Day At A TIme. Keep Coming Back!
