I wish I'd get hangovers like normal people
Instead of this extreme anxiety. Even 2 seroquel (I usually take them to sleep) haven't made an impact.

“Hangxiety”… it’s awful
July 8th will be my 1yr. It sounds cheesy/cliche, but I did it one day at a time. Anytime I really wanted to drink (which was pretty much every evening in the beginning), I would tell myself “today you can’t… wait til tomorrow”… then tomorrow I would tell myself the same thing. I also wrote down the reasons I was quitting, so I could read them when the urge to drink would strike.
This time it stuck, I really wanted it, and I feel much better overall. You can do it, if you want to! it helps to have somewhere or someone to check in with… to hold yourself accountable…. And Just be sure if you’re physically dependent, that you don’t try quitting without medical supervision ♥

That's one of the reasons I don't drink. I have found eating a lot of food helps, somewhat, tho

@faery with this lvl of anxiety it's very hard to eat. Had a yoghurt and some potatochips so far today, and it's already past 10pm.
I keep trying to remind myself of why I should stop drinking, and had every intention of not drinking last night, but alcoholism is a curse and I thought to myself "it's my sisters wedding and my family's here. I'm allowed to drink, but will be able to control it"
I didn't drink as much as I usually would, but any amount is enough to mess with me this badly apparantly.
I need to find some way to remind myself to stay strong and sober.

@LordBarbossa Yeah, I get it that it's hard to eat when anxious. I can't really recover like I used to anymore either, even with old tactics, so I just stopped altogether because there's no such thing as me only drinking a little once I start.
Hope you can get away from it, since you want to.
