Last weekend I went out for drinks for the first time in 6 weeks. Before that I hadn't drank for maybe 3 months. Anyways the next day I had a hangover and did little more than nothing that day.
Today is my second day in the gym since then and again I have zero energy despite sleeping lots and eating well.
My level of productivity has also plummeted and I am now battling constant urges to surf the internet aimlessly or go on social media. I'm also craving for junk food much more than usual and finding it easier to get into pedantic discourse with others and chest beating..
These are all old problems that are rearing there ugly head once again.
When I live in abstinence of alcohol, my life seems to run smoothly and I actually start to get a kick out of being productive and living a mundane lifestyle.
I'm not an alcoholic in any shape or form but I can't do things by halves. If I go out for drinks it will be a heavy night.
This carries through into everything else I do .I.e. If I open a can of pringles I have to eat the whole can or none at all. If I find a new interest or hobby I will have to submerge myself deep into it and explore it throughly, or I will drop it completely. If I have a goal I will make plans for every detail or step of the way and spreadsheet it, otherwise I will not bother with the goal.
I cannot do moderation. Anyone else have this problem?
