Hangover

[angel77]

Ok so you can probably guess by my title, I drank last night. A lot. I am feeling so sick right now and can barely type. I feel so angry and want to cry as I write this. I had done 28 days AF and now I have to start all over again. I don't really want to go into why I did it. To all of those people who are abstaining right now let me be an example of why not to drink. Ok I have to go I think I am about to be sick

Hi Angel,

YOu had a setback....try not to be too hard on yourself...just climb right back on that bike again and even if a bit wobbly to start with, get peddalling again. Soon you will be feeling better and with renewed optimism. Look at this slip up, as just that. A yucky reminder about what it is you are trying so hard to achieve. No one gets it right first time...at least noone that I know anyway. YOu will be feeling pretty ragged and down today, but remember that this will pass...its the post drink depression. Tomorrow is a brand new day and you will be on your way to feeling better again HOORAY....so for today be kind to yourself, pat yourself on the back for your 28 days af.....drink lots of water and eat something nutritious and rest. All the best

Angel, if this reinforces to you that you really CAN'T drink and don't WANT to drink, then it's a good thing. I applaud you for coming right back here to get on the wagon.

What scared the crap out of me when I relapsed was that I just.could.not.get.back.on.the.wagon.

Remember this sick feeling and don't fall for the AL lies when it fades.

Hi Angel

I realise you must be feeling pretty down on yourself right now but it is great that you got straight on here and get some support to start again. 28 days is a great achievement and proves that you can do it. Don't let the bad feelings start the drinking again honey. Think of it as a reminder of why you ended up here in the first place and kick it in the arse!!!!

Thinking of you.:h:h:h

Angel, the important thing is to get right back to sober. And stay there. Don't kid yourself with that "tomorrow" stuff. You can learn from this and be even stronger so get up and get going!!

Angel, so sorry you feel like shite. What a graphic reminder of why you want to stop, and what a lie alcohol is. The only time it's really there for us is when we're sick and full of self-loathing. This is a new day, back on the horse. xoxoxo Pride

Take care of yourself Angel. Don't beat yourself up, for me that sets the cycle of bingeing to forget.

We are all human and as it has been said before this is a journey and we learn many different things along this journey. Remember how you feel today to prevent another hangover. That's what is keeping me AF, the reminder of how sloppy I was during my last drunk and how sick I felt the days following.

Keep coming back :h

This is so true- for me-to get back on the wagon- and so glad I did- YOU CAN TOO- so-stay on the site-when you feel like a drink and wait for the urge to pass by....that's my plan, Angel-
Think of your slip as part of the learning process of why you can't and shouldn't have a drink-and don't be so upset with yourself-
All the best,

Angel, there must be something about 28 days as I've seen a couple of posts where others have slipped around that mark. I just know you can get up instead of giving up, so quick sticks, Angel, back on board and you'll be ready for AL's lies next time he tries to pick you off.
:h Mish :h

thank you

Hi Guys, when I posted that I was feeling really weak and sick so I hope it wasn't too graphic. I am feeling a lot better now and a little more clear headed. Thank you so much for all your messages of support. Someone on here referred to this place as a "godsend" well I think "god" has given me a second chance and I really want with all of my heart to stop drinking. So I am jumping back on the wagon with you all. Day one today.

Sorry you're having a hard time. Remember how you feel right now. I too messed up after 160 AF days. It's disappointing and frustrating. But good job for coming right back. Just start over....I hope you feel better!

I'm glad you are back on the waggon, you've done it before and you can do it again.

Good luck :l

Angel,
You had four weeks sober and one day drunk.
So OK, you spoiled your run, but I'm betting a while ago you'd have been amazed at being able to achieve that goal.
Now that you know you can do it, do it again and keep doing it until you've got where you want to be.
And try to remember that sobriety isn't a punishment. It's a choice of lifestyle, and a bloody good one.
