Hi, I'm new and nursing a hangover from a bottle of Chardonnay that I drank last night. Not the normal size bottle, but the bigger ones. I hate myself everytime I do this. I already have a prescription for Campral and have taken it, but not regularly. I hope that coming to a site where others are or have been in the same boat will help. I plan to go buy the book at Barnes and Noble and check into some of the supplements. I am concerned about my health and want to make the necessary changes. I once was a chain smoker and one day just quit cold turkey. That was 30 years ago so I know I have the ability to do this.

oh wine hangovers I know them too well. I have also been trying to lay off the vino. I really thought this was going to be easy, it's a process.
be gentle to yourself, take small steps and be positive.

:welcome: Ah...wine...my problem is that I buy it by the box!...Just always liked the taste of wine....but....I've often hated myself too...wake up in the morning cursing myself, not necessarily because of the way I feel because unfortunately I've always had a pretty high tolerance for alcohol BUT for having drunk myself to sleep again.
Fortunately, my children don't have my tolerance...they get pretty sick if they drink too much. I've always told my mother that the high tolerance for alcohol which comes from her side of the family is a curse!...I've said it somewhat jesting but seriously.....
Again...Welcome! You'll find a lot of folks here who can really understand the way you feel and can relate.

Well, so far I have failed myself. I am sitting her reading all your encouraging, nice comments with a big glass of Chardonnay. I even took two doses of Campral, so much for that, I think I swallowed the last two with the wine. I have seven children, two who are really having some major emotional issues and all I do is continue to try and numb myself. My 16 year old daughter who has battled an eating disorder for 3 years actually tried to kill herself a few weeks ago. She is battling mood swings and depression and anxiety and I know what I do isn't helping, my kids hate for me to drink. Oh well, thanks to all for your support. I will keep visiting and hopefully something will strike that cord to really try and stop this destructive cycle.

Hello and it is good that you are here though it is not for a good reason like for all of us.
Hangovers , I could write books about them. How many times I have woke up like in a nightmare tried to figure out what happened last night. Stand up to look at my place , maybe I lost my purse and money or jacket. I am shaking all and try to drink water . After 10 minutes I vomit and do it for the rest of the day. I can never eat the day after or maybe just in night til 11. I have hangover for like 3-4 days. I eat greasy food next days and I am not my self and have many regrets and shame.
Why I have put my trouhg this is ununderstandable.
Now I am here with you all guys in a good place.
Hangover, will go over and now it is your decision if you go there again like for all of us.
We can do this together.
Take care ,
Ylfa
