Still feeling slightly worse for ware

[Flip Top]

Is it normal to still be having the sweats 3 days after a binge started about 2pm on Sat afternoon and part of the evening I think, I have been drinking loads of water and head still feels dull, like a faint headache.

Hi Flip Top,

After my last god almighty binge that ended on the 6th July 2009, I have to say it took me about 5 days to feel anywhere near normal. Keep drinking the water, try adding some lemon juice. I felt like I had flu, if that makes sense.

I have been out longer before and suffered less, suppose my body is telling me something, head really isnt feeling straight at the moment.

Flip Top,
Exactly, I don't think my body would have survived another binge.

That's why I have been totally AF since the 7th July 2009.

Listen to your body, it's trying to tell you something.

Flip I hope you will start to feel better soon. Just shows what madness this is that we do to ourselves. Self poisoning. Remember this the next time the thoughts of cold beer come to mind, use the experience in a positive way.

Cant face going out to far from home at the moment, thinking I might see someone that I saw on Saturday night. Its doing my head in that I blacked out and cant remember. Dont want to ask anybody I know as am frightened of the worst.

Flip top as jackie & ktab have said, also this might be of use...... Electrolyte replacement might help (the sachets you can get for diarrhoea are the best), along with plenty of liquids.
Complex carbohydrates (like brown rice, wholemeal bread, wholegrain cereals etc.) will help to slowly stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Eggs contain Cysteine, which can help the liver to metabolize Acetaldehyde (the toxic by-product of alcohol).
B-vitamin supplements are essential, as they help your nerve cells to recover from the damage you’ve inflicted.
We all know about the healing powers of caffeine – this constricts the blood vessels and can therefore alleviate the headache.

Cheers everybody

Mario caffeine isnt good for me as it heighten my anxiety when I feeling like this, so have been trying to keep away from taht.
I have some Electrolytes in the cupboard so will give them a go.

Good point we have selinium ace which is brilliant stuff.

See I said my head wasnt in the right place.

Mama Bear you may be right, but Flip Top - obviously your body is screaming it's had enough. Every time I get tempted, I try to replay in my head the times I felt like I was going to die - curled up in a ball with the worst kind of hangover.

Hug to you

Flip top I hope you feel better soon. Blackouts were my scariest and a big reason for this time being serious about quitting. Don't worry about what might have happened, concern yourself with getting better and taking care of yourself, the rest will work out. Big Hug your way today:l

Feeling a bit better today, have been drinking lemon water which I find help in a great way.
Still feeling very anxious and didnt sleep very well last night due to waking and then worrying.
Cant wait until I leave this town to pastures new.

I dreamt last night that I had had a beer, I could even taste it in my sleep, so glad when I did wake that I hadnt :-)

I love your Signature Mama, just wish my family understood how I struggle instead of just saying get on with it and stop being so negative, when infact even my GF says I dont get your parents sometimes they can be so negative, It confuses me into making or not the right decision for moi.
