It's okay, I wasn't at all upset by the gender mistake- just wanted to clarify. I do agree that when it comes to addiction, gender really doesn't matter much. It's the same hell to all.
I look forward to hearing from you again. Don't forget what I said in my previous post about forgiving yourself for slips and relapses, and being as kind to yourself as you are to others here. Any addict knows we don't _like_ being this way, and that drinking stopped being "fun" long ago. It's just that the alcohol has gotten a hold on us that's very hard to break, both physically and mentally. Don't give up hope please and I will try not to either.
Hope you have a good night's rest.
Hugs,
Caper
P.S. Don't forget to drink lots of water- dehydration makes withdrawal/hangovers much worse.
P.P.S. If you get a chance and feel comfortable sharing, sometime I'd like to hear how you got started with your alcohol problem. I still can't believe how fast mine developed and how oblivious I was to the fact that I was getting dependent. Even now it blows my mind how I could have fallen so far, so fast.
