Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me out with some advice please! I have been drinking as a binger for about 2 years now. I would say I have had 1-3 nights a week drinking pretty hard, liquor, beer. I have never experienced something quite like this and it is worrying me. Anyways, after a night of drinking liquor I came home and threw up. The next morning I knew I was going to be hung over and I was. Day 2 I still felt hung over and it was starting to worry me because I never have been hung over for 2 days straight. I was drinking plenty of water and eating pretty healthy. So after day 2 when I woke up on day 3 I knew something wasn’t right. Still had bad brain fog, felt completely not myself, spaced out, zoned out. So here I am 14 days without drinking and still have this weird brain fog that seems to not be going away. I am becoming worried that I may not feel better for a while. I keep thinking that this is permanent but I just don’t know what to think being That I have never experienced this before. It’s like my head is foggy and I can’t even think or remember some things that happen. I have also been very tired ever since and seem to sleep 8-10 hours a night and feel as if I have not slept. I don’t know what to do or if this is some type of withdrawal. It just really scares me because it happened a day or so after I got really intoxicated. Please help with any info you have or if you have ever had something like this happen to you.
Thank you.

I’m only on day 2 and definitely still foggy. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for that information. I just read up on it and will continue to do so. Hopefully this brain fog will lift very soon. I’m planning on not drinking for a very very long time. If I do resort to drinking it may be 1 or 2 but after a few years of healing. I’m not looking to feel like this ever again. Thank you!

Thank you and hang in there. How are you feeling? What are some of your symptoms?

Thank you for your response. How long did your brain fog last about? I know everyone is different but when did things get better for you? What did you find best to help with this on a day by day basis?

Glad that those symptoms left quickly for you. I’m on day 14 and the haze/brain fog is still here. Hoping that it clears really soon.

I’m sorry to hear that and hope you get better. I’m on my 3rd week and it seems like I have a kinda decent day then it’s back more the next day. This feeling really does suck and I just want it to pass. It’s like this fog just sits on top of my head and in my eyes and I don’t feel normal at times. Just wishing for this to pass. I will never pick up another drink again, this feeling is horrible.

Thats kinda how I feel still, things got better then the wave came back. It definitely feels kinda like a light buzzed feeling without having that good feeling. My eyes still act up and I been to the doctor and they got me glasses. I can tell it wasn’t just my eyes so I know that it’s definitely from that night of drinking that messed my brain up. Some days better then others but supposedly I’m still into early recovery, I’m at 6 months. Sometimes to I wonder will I ever feel 100% again or is this permanently how I’m going to be forever. Honestly I couldn’t live like this just knowing that I’m a bit off from feeling like I use to before this happened. Finally got medical insurance soon so I will be going to a doctor. I couldn’t afford going to any doctors witch probably was a really bad idea.
