Feeling the WDs setting in ... wasn't expecting them, I rarely if ever experience them, but guess I lost track of how long I'd been drinking, and I've really ramped it up recently up through last night.
Got the chills/sweats; exhausted and restless; and my stomach is hatin'
Since this isn't the Octsober thread I guess I can admit that I've got a buddy tryin to score a bag for me so I can settle back into a more preferable habit
Anything to get thru this! I know once I turn my life/death calendar next month that's it for me, I'm simply too old to keep drinking like I'm young and healthy.
It sure takes more of a toll as you get older and takes longer to recover. Had a sad encounter this morning with one of my former drinking buddies who's on day four of a binge today.
He was telling me that he can't handle drinking more than two days in a row anymore and that he doesn't feel like drinking today - but he's going to do it anyway because someone else is buying. It was kind of depressing and yet it's not all that long ago that there's no way I would have passed up free alcohol.
I used to find that even though food was the last thing I felt like, small amounts of something plain did help me feel better, especially if I could go to sleep for a couple of hours afterwards. I usually couldn't force down more than half a slice of toast, but it did help a bit. So did a sugary drink of some kind.
I found that I got a better sleep on the second night after I stopped drinking - maybe still not a lot of sleep, but a better quality of sleep. Hopes that's the case for you too.
