Good for the 65 days Red, don't let one slip mess you up!!  I spent about 20 years drinking some almost every day until  I figured how dumb it was. With the help and support of lots of friends I haven't had a drink of alcohol for over 30 years and don't miss it! Life is way more fun when you remember exactly what you did last night (and with who)!

Sounds like me with over eating and too much of the wrong stuff.    :(

Get back on the horse! Don't kick yourself or become defeatists!  It is worth it to keep at it.  It works if you work it!!

65 days then a one time slip is not a defeat provided you restart your sobriety and learn from your experience. I wish you the best, "one day at a time." Life can be great without alcohol and drugs. 


MY STORY: I had been sober for 5 1/2 years then had a beer while out for dinner. The following morning I woke to serious hives and a swollen airway, YIKES! I'd suddenly developed an allergy to onions, garlic, hot peppers (essentially any foods containing a particular sulfur molecule which gives them their spicy allure.) I might as well have been pronounced dead cause I love all those foods. So many dishes contain at least traces of those ingredients, therefore, I was in and out of "emergency" many times with breathing difficulties. Worse still, only extremely powerful antihistamines, (with nasty side effects,) would have any effect on the hives.  Fast forward 8 months: I put down the booze again and within a few days later I had no more allergic reaction (I can enjoy all those foods again).  MY CONCLUSION: the mind is very powerful and can cause and heal health issues. I'm totally convinced my allergic reactions where a psychosomatic response to my drinking. My mind was communicating through my body that I shouldn't be drinking. Funny thing the mind.


Be Happy, TTFN

Congrats and good for you for making it to the 65 day mark. You had a hiccup is all. Give yourself a pat on the back for going as long as you did and realizing how horrible it made you feel physically and mentally. Keep going!
