Thanks to everyone who replied yesterday - I'm feeling much better. And thanks for reminding me that AF days are not negated by a binge or even a few drinks. Because a bender makes me feel so emotionally awful, I tend to think that I'm right back at the beginning again when thats not really the case. In fact I can tell that this site is helping because usually I beat myself up for days and days after a binge but I have already put it behind me. :thanks:
I wrote that I really didn't know why I had done it but in fact I had had a stressful day and was feeling tired and sensitive. The bummer is that I had earlier tried to book myself a massage to chill out and relax but couldn't get an appointment. Enter vodka stage left!
That's a good learning experience for me. The default response when I feel ambivalent about drinking has been to take it. I'm going to work on leaving it.
