I'm so embarrassed but needed to tell someone. I called in sick 2 days last week and yesterday just so that I could stay home and drink - it was a full blown 5 day bender. I've never let my drinking get in the way of work before. And now needless to say I feel like %#@&#!, I was up all night throwing up and now have the shakes really bad. Part of me wants to just feel sorry for myself except I know it's my own damn fault. I guess I'll just have to treat today as another opportunitiy to start over.

Hi splitimage,
I'm sorry about that. It sucks when you mess up really bad 'cause sometimes it encourages you just to run with it. I'm glad you wrote that last line in your entry. I like the positive thinking behind it. I hope you're okay. |

Thanks for sharing splitimage. It's always good to rat it out when we fall victim to insanity. Don't beat yourself up too hard!

Its the nature of the disease splitimage...it progresses and worsens. The chances of treating your drinking on your own with good results are next to nill...get help fast. Us drinkers usally think no one knows when in fact they do. If you are honest with your employer and tell them you need to seek help I'll bet you get alot of support from them ie. they would hold the job while you get treatment etc. Don't beat yourself up..what you are dealing with IS a disease. Your body processes alcohol differently than a social drinkers creating that more more more feeling. Staying away from the first drink is the key. Hang is there. And find some help and life will get better beyond your wildest imaginings!

I have never before let a hangover keep me away from work.But last Monday, after vomiting from 2 in the morning, after a wonderful lunch with very old friends on Sunday, I could not go to work. I have not had a drink since-11 days- this has to last.
