Stumbled off of the wagon AGAIN

5 months sober and I got drunk again. Severe hangover. Was almost completely incapacitated for hours.

Perhaps a wagon customized with restraints is the only way for me to stay on it.

I barely recall stumbling around in the Psych Central chatroom the other night. Sorry if my behavior was inappropriate or rude.

Something tells me that I deliberately (but not all that willingly) get drunk to the point of being severely hung over for a reason that I cannot completely understand.

What happens to brain chemistry after a severe hang over? I found myself to be rather calm the next day. Very sick, but not as edgy or manic.

When I'm under the weather, I also find myself unusually calm. Might I be making myself sick for this purpose?

Strange way to calm oneself down, if that is the case.

Getting severely intoxicated-Poor man's E.C.T.?

If I may ask? - What was happening or what were you feeling prior to having the need to drink again?

LoVe,

Been feeling angry, frustrated, depressed. I just had enough and decided to do something/anything just to break the pattern. That certainly did it! I was in pain and in bed for hours. I felt that I had "purged" more than just the contents in my stomach that night. Strange. Very strange.

I could hear my liver sighing, "Oh, lord, there he goes again."

So you're sobered up, suffered the hangover, and lemme guess, the feelings of anger, frustration and depression are still there right? Hmm....drinking isn't going to make it go away. Remember that next time.

What was all the anger, frustration and depression OVER?- (this time around)

I dont have any substance abuse problems but I learned when I was younger that drinking a whole bunch of liquid,water, sodas,juice, or whatever when i wanted alcohol helped a bunch.Prevented me from drinking much or at all mostly.Find a way please.

5 months sober b ut your not an alcoholic. I guess U need to improve your resume. reference to being younger and drinking other things to not have alco. I dont believe anyone stumbles off the wagon they get the Fu*k it feeling and just drink. I wish you luck in your quest.
