I would tell myself early in the week I won't drink this weekend, and I did, I was worried I would drink this weekend & I did. I miss the weekends I have off of truly relaxing, watching movies, taking bubble baths ordering out nice food; there has not been many of those at all this year. Last one I had was 3 weeks ago when I had an infection not alcohol related. I enjoyed that weekend, despite being sick & actually needing off of work then. I am happy now this crappy red wine hangover is almost over, and I can start to breathe again. I'm so tired & really hope I can sleep well tonight, since we all know how great of sleep we get when we drink... Not.. I am truly grateful to come across this site today & glad I paid the .99 cents for the phone app

I can't wait for that feeling tomorrow to waking up feeling like a new woman saying to myself wth happened?! Finally the physical aftermath will be over, it's just sticking with it & constantly reminding myself why I want to live sober & to my fullest potential. I hope to get some good long sleep tonight & hope you do too.

Thank you, and congrats on your journey so far into it. I finally got some sleep but am waking up with massive anxiety I think mainly from the job situation, I am scheduled to work today but my place of business is known to terminate an employee after their weekend to work & weeks after an occurrence of an absence. I emptied out & threw away 4 diff wine bottles & woke up to power clean to work off my nerves. I did sweat a lot thru the night which I hope was the rest of the toxins from Wednesdays binger... I know this will be a tough journey ahead due to binging & knowing I am on a few egg shells left at my job if I don't lose it. I've worked so hard to get back on my feet again & have majorly slipped with the drinking. I am happy I let that part go, usually when my nerves are shot I have a drink but not today! I wish you all a blessed, strong last weekend of 2014! <3

Yes still going strong! I have been sleeping 12 hours the last 2 days & working my job I hope I don't lose this week. I have to work New Year's Eve Til 11pm & plan to come home have something nice to eat, watch fire works at midnight & sleep, hoping for great year ahead & for everyone else here. Otherwise I'm doing good so far. I am sure the temptation of poison will be coming on strong this weekend since I am a binger & hoping it goes away & i can really focus on something else productive & healthy.
I think I can. When all else fails I suppose I can just sleep. Happy New Years to you

I feel for you, I've been there myself, self loathing is part of being sick from the alcohol but you'll get better and you will get over it. Things will look up. Welcome, there's always someone here to listen. Take care
