Julie,
What can you do to get you away from sitting and drinking for the rest of the day? From your description, you have done pretty well the past few days – perfection is not required. I know it’s doubly hard when you have time on your hands and no obligations to keep you away from drinking. Is there anywhere you could go that would ‘distract’ you?
We all want relief from feeling bad. That’s a normal thing. As I said earlier, one reason I have found giving up drinking to be okay so far, is that it was giving me very temporary relief, at a big cost the next day.
I would rather have you stay somewhat sober and post, than drink and hide for 3 days. I would miss talking to you.Greg (at work and feeling like I have the flu – and knowing that it’s not a hangover)
