This is the new thread in which to discuss all things related to excessive drinking and alcoholism. This thread is for serious discussion only about alcohol: your past experiences, what you are currently going through, strategies for quitting or cutting down your drinking, or to just bitch about a hang over. Feel free to say whatever you need to, there are plenty of alcoholics/binge drinkers here who can relate, such as my self. We are not here to judge. Your problem no matter how large or small is serious to you, and to us as well
We are here to listen and to learn, and to provide support for those in need, not to glamorize or condone drinking. Please keep in mind content which might be triggering to those who are trying to abstain from drinking, and refrain from posting any such comments.
The old thread can be found here.
And use your experiences from those couple of days here and there that you didn't drink, to remind yourself of how good it felt to NOT be hungover the next morning, and how proud you felt getting to the end of the night without having had a drink that day.
That is also a good idea about taking the valerian, as it will also help you sleep AND help with the hangover-anxiety.
Are you going to continue to attend the AA meetings, or try somewhere else?

bipolair, that is definitely something to be proud of!! I know from YEARS of personal experience that during a binge, even going for one day without drinking is a huge achievment, so don't play it down at all. Be proudI was aware of the fact that Wellbutrin can cause seizures. I was probably lucky enough to have the 24hour release brand which I think is not available in Australia. I have also been taking heaps Valerian to ease the withdrawls. '
I'm doing pretty good though, havent been drinking much (relatively) lately and even skipped a day or two (So proud lol).
