Day 5: so it was the night of the stag and doe and I went with every intension to not drink. Unfortunately I cracked under the peer pressure and ended up have 3 drinks at the event. I held out for a while, but I was seriously amazed at how many people were begging me to drink with them. I'm serious; I was literally begged.
I stopped drinking a couple hours before we needed to go home, so I was fine to drive by then. We got home around 1:30am and my husband asked me to stay up with him longer because he was wired (and drunk). I said sure and had one more drink.
We ended up going to bed after 3am.
Day 6: I woke up around 9am with THE WORST MIGRAINE I wad had in years. I used to get them often, but it has been a long time for me so it was crazy-intense. I took a motrin and layed on the cold tile floor of our bathroom between the throwing up. I made it back to bed an hour later and slept until noon.
This is not normal for me. I'm usually up between 6 and 7am, even after having several drinks the night before.
I'm not sure what caused the migraine, but surely 4 drinks were not the reason, right? It could have been anything from what I ate to the weather (sometimes I get headaches when the pressure changes), but I can't help but feel it was punishment for drinking.
Regardless, day 6 went fine after I recovered from my migraine. I stayed on track with my food and didn't drink that night. I feel MUCH better today, and I'm finding that I am enjoying sobriety more & more.
