Yes, please, let me know how you are doing. I can imagine that you are feeling under the weather and tired. But, just keep reminding yourself, that it is temporary and will wear off. I don't know if you are in, or have considered, a 12 step program (AA), but if you are not quite ready for that, perhaps you can make arrangements with a close friend (who you trust and find reliable and who doesn't drink, or doesn't drink to excess), who you can call when you get the urge to go on a tear. If you are able to distract yourself by going somewhere with that friend or even just talking to the person, you might be able to avoid the binge. You can also call A.A., and a volunteer will talk to you and help you through the urge to drink.
Good luck, and take care.
