I used to spend so much of my time sick in bed, it was ridiculous. Finally stopped drinking when I decided to quit "for a few days" and ended up sick for six weeks. My friend who has lapsed three times thinks I'm a weird miracle for quitting once and never considering returning but that was Hell and I'm not going back.
