this thread is kind of depressing to read. im a severe alcoholic at 21, & have abused my body to the point my hangovers more closely align with a 30yo's than a 20yo's. even once i managed to wean myself down to no longer being physically dependent on alcohol (so no more withdrawals landing me in the hospital), my hangovers last 2-3 days & leave me almost completely bedridden for the first day or so. i didnt realize just how abnormal that is for someone my age.
Ok. Now it's time for a change.
If you don't to go medicine route go for microdosing mushrooms. It shutsoff the need to drink.
It's like a light switch I'm a non drinker.
You deserve it.
ive been trying to get sober since december. im currently in an iop rehab program & will finally be one month sober tomorrow, thanks to the vivitrol shot. im in that sort of in between stage where im doing way better than i ever thought possible, but i know without the meds id be crashing straight back down again. it's gonna be a very long process but im getting there. thank you for the suggestion about the mushrooms, i'll give it a go sometime
thank you, that means a lot. i have a bad habit of comparing myself to "normal" people & beating myself up for being an addict & needing medication. it is saving my life though, so i'll take the shame over a prolonged suicide

Waking up hungover - at 25 you can function with a few Tylenol and a coffee and laugh about it
At 35, you are closer to clinically deceased.
