About 8 days ago I had a big drinking session with an old friend until the wee hours of the morning and we had some coke as well throughout the night.
Now I normally drink every day, which means I smoke cigarettes every day however if I don't drink I don't smoke. Usually will have 20 cigarettes during my drinking session,.
I am an alcoholic and usually need about 12 beers minimum to satisfy my daily requirement to keep me stable and not get bad withdrawals. As of recent it was getting worse as I'd need cocaine as well otherwise drinking just felt pointless or not as fun. I found this to be odd as I only picked up the habit for a month and a bit. The drug itself reminded me of my old meth days. Drinking just got boring without it. Again this is strange as I went for 6 years sober without drugs until I started dabbling in coke around November.
So this now brings me to today. The day after that binge I woke up with gastro and haven't craved alcohol or wanted to smoke since. Usually I wouldn't care if I am sick etc I would still drink. However being now 33 I am trying to stay away from it. Have been an alcoholic for a good 10 years. I just find it interesting that my cravings are weak at the moment for substance. It comes passing through my mind to do it this weekend etc but then I go no as I couldn't be bothered dealing with the damage. i.e. financial burden etc..
So any opinions?
