I'm sure once you wake up you will not be feeling awesome. :-( Start again today and think of a different recovery plan. First step - remove what is left (if any) of that bottle.

Shame and disgust aren't really useful emotions, Vendetta - unless you use them to propel yourself into making a better plan...

welcome back

I know. I have to refocus. Keep my long term goals on my mind for strength.

I made the same poor choice myself days ago. At least you stopped after one day. I let mine spiral on for a few and "feeling awesome" quickly turned into falling asleep at 4 in the afternoon, waking up at 2 AM to vomit and starting over again the next day... knowing I would just keep feeling worse. Alcohol is a nasty, nasty beast. Tricks our AV into thinking good times are ahead and the next thing you know it has a hold on you. Thankfully, today I took my control back. Sounds like you did as well. Let's do this!
