George thank you for sharing! And you're absolutely right; we need to share our weaknesses. Not only to rat our own selves out, but to remind each other of what drinking would do.

Sounds like maybe it was a drunk dream that maybe you just don't remember. Waking up feeling hungover happens to me when I haven't had enough sleep or when I've had a really stressful week. Its always a reminder to me that I never have to feel that way again, with a real hangover.

I agree with everything SplitImage said too... she couldn't have put it better that self reliance was our downfall when we were drinking and it will definitely harm our sobriety if we let it.

I got sober after I had been a member here for nearly a year and posting here in this forum regularly through early recovery was a life saver. And thats why I continue to come back and post now....so post every day, 5 times a day if you need to!!!
