Hi King,
I'm sure we can all remember those first 24 hours after a mad batter, yes I can remember thinking I wanted to just die I was so ill, but trust me, it passes, drinking water really does help its not just a cliche, it sort of clears the poison thro your system, and yes you feel low now, persevere and you will feel a million times better in a very short time. All this doesn't go away with a drink, it just extends it - honestly
Good luck and hang around and give it a chance an hour at a time, a minute at a time, every moment contributes to you feeling better

:welcome: Kings. It's good that you have found this site. I felt like you on Thursday it was awful I felt like I was 'chasing my tail' not knowing what to do with myself. One part of me was saying don't drink and another saying 'just have a glass of wine it will make you feel better' but this is a lie it just prolongs the problem. So I drank loads of water and didnt drink and it was so worth it!!!! Its Sunday now and I feel great. So please just try to stick with it and your body will recover and then your depression should lift. I kept posting and reading on here and it helps so much to know that you are not alone and other people have gone through what you are going through. Sending you a :l I hope this helps.

It really is so worth it even tho you feel so crap at the mo, your body has already started healing...just think of every discomfort you experience as your bodys way of letting you know it it getting rid of the poison...

Hang on in there and keep close to the boards.xx

hang in there kings today should be slightly easier.
as you feel better distract yourself when you start thinking of drinking.
i know it is hard.. i myself wish i could turn back time and hadn't created this history for myself.
this was the theme in one of my dreams last night actually.
I was starting again from when I had never taken enjoyment in alcohol. Best not to know what you are missing I'd say! gee.... am i having a mid life crisis? if so, i think this one will be for the better and end ultimately in an improved me.
i have to go lie down again. i will go to the gym but i had a terrible sleep... just need one more hour.

hang tight kings!!

(( hhee... i like playing with the colors!))
