I Have The Fear Something Chronic

Ah_Yeah · 30-07-2012 10:29AM #1

So, yeah.. I have the fear. I avoided it for most of the weekend by just continuing to drink everytime I felt it coming on, but now I finally have to face it. It's Monday morning, I'm in work, I woke up late and probably wasn't fit to drive to work.

Are weekend-long benders really worth it when I have this crippling fear in work, and I have so much to do?

I had the fear all day yesterday!

Yesterday i swore Id never drink again, today Im already planning a few drinks later!

You weren't stopped this morning and you'll be grand going home so nothing to worry about

The only way to fix this fear is to drink more.. which means fear again eventually, or just deal with it. Can someone come over and spoon me, I'm needy

You need lots of water and a few ice pops! Be grand!

2 late ones on Fri and Sat, not a wink's sleep last night just sweating and tossing and turning. Now I'm in work in bits, strange pains in abdomen, legs feel like they've been beaten with bats for hours. God I need to get my act together

No. I can never work hungover its just torture so if I was going out I'd do it on Friday only to give me plenty of recovery time.

Can you even have fear chronically?

So many times people swear they will never drink again. But then weekend comes and those words are forgotten

I would recommend a couple of cans later on too if you can stomach it, will take the 'edge' off!

Resolve is never stronger than the morning after it was weakest.

Wtf is up with Anono?

I'm more worried about him than the OP.

Being philosophical this early on a Monday morning can only mean one thing.

The Scientologists must have got him!

Exercise is the solution to this (and eating properly, and not drinking too much alcohol). Get on your bike and go for a long ride; it burns off the flight-fight-or-freeze chemicals. You'll feel great.

And dehydratEs you more!
The only solution to the fear is 12 cans

By the fear you mean you fear you did something awful while drunk and don't remember it right?

Abi · 30-07-2012 11:22AM

I've heard people talk about it... But wtf is 'the fear'??

Don't worry - it were from a movie what I stayed up late watching last night.

Naked.

(That's the movie title, I wasn't watching it naked. I had a sarong on.)

Getting so drunk that you don't remember the entire night, and then fearing you might have done something stupid/horrible during those minutes of memory loss.

Then there's the other "only way", which is to give up the drink and become tea-total like I did, and laugh at people telling everyone they've got the fear.
