Ugh. I am so hungover today. I didn't drink Sunday through Wed. Last night, I "rewarded" myself by having two big glasses of Pinot Grigio, two diet Cosmos, a glass of red, and a martini. I totally blacked out and wrote an email to a bunch of my friends and family member with a link that warns people about the dangers of Facebook. I also downloaded two songs by Sunscreem that I haven't listened to since the mid-90s. I don't remember doing any of this. My husband told me today. It is crazy. I did not black out once from drinking last week. However, I was better about nursing my drinks last week. I drank slowly and more consciously.

Anyway, we're having dinner w/friends tonight, so I'm sure a bit of wine may be involved. Here's hoping that I pace myself and don't rely on the Nal pill to keep me in line.

holy mackerel! What a mixture! I'd be sick for a week!!!! Don't be hard on yourself kiddo - you're a drunk!! That's what we do!!! Notice I say WE - we know what you feel...

HOWEVER, you are making progress even though you have "days." You are here with us, struggling to move forward. All good. Be a good girl today, give your body a break - a nice glass or two of vino tonight, then tomorrow will be a great day..

Thanks, BGH! I was okay on Friday, but went overboard again last night. I am looking forward to detoxing this week. I don't want to pop a Nal pill or drink for awhile. I don't know why I have been going so crazy. I thought I'd improved a lot the previous week.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like an extinction burst. You might want to use the search button to search the board for the term. It's a drag, but it's a sign of progress and a part of the process for many of us. Hang in there!

Thanks, Lena. I wonder how long the extinction burst will last. I'll have to read up on it a bit more. I think the hardest part about TSM is being patient. I can't wait until that day arrives that I can stop at one or two glasses of wine. Take care.
