Hi PPQ, I'm ok today. The shakes have begun a little this morning which is typical for me. I see the Dr at 10am and it's now 7:30. I'd rather just go back to bed. It's a dreary morning and I feel the same. I slept well last night outside of the night sweats. I work tomorrow and I think I'll be ok for that. I'm afraid my Dr may lecture me a bit and I'm almost prepared for that. I know I'll feel a lot better after talking with him. I think it will be good for me and my condition to tell the Dr the truth and follow orders.
These long lasting hangovers are so scary. I can't wait to feel better and I know I will. I'm determined not to do this to myself again - at least that's how I feel today. If someone offered me a beer today .... well, even saying it makes me feel a little nauseous. But in a few more days or a week, that would change. One day at a time, right?
Thanks so much again, K

RIGHT!

I know exactly what you mean by "if someone offered me a beer.........but in a few more days, a week that would change"

As long as I was feeling shitty the thought of AL made me sick. As I felt better my thoughts would turn to I think I can handle a drink now. How insane is that? Why? So I can go back to feeling shitty again, because that's where I'd be headed.

Get all that garbage out and leave it at the Dr's office. Today is the start of your New Life.

I'll be thinking of you. PPQ

I'm still here, I'm still sober and I am so grateful that I had that last drunk. I'm grateful that I was able to find this forum. I'm grateful that alcohol itself finally taught me the way to real and true misery. I have chosen another way and it's alcohol free for me. It makes everything, I mean everything, so much worse. It is a poison in my body. It may not kill me right away, but in the meantime, I will certainly be the most miserable person on the planet and that's all I would be able to think about. It makes me a little nauseous to even talk about it. My determination grows every day. I've quit before and I've probably said this before, but something feels different this time. Actually, I've never quit at this age. I've never had hangovers that lasted 3 days consistently before. That scared me to death! Every single time I drank, the exact same thing happened. I kept trying though, I'm no quitter!
No more. I'm done. I like this sober living. I like the depression and anxiety to be far, far away from me. It's good, very good!!
