The headaches

I have been drinking too much over the last few months. Sick of it. I’m on day 4 of a detox. On Monday, day 2, I got a terrible migraine. I am guessing it is related as stress, alcohol and caffeine are triggers. ???!! I am disappointed with myself for letting things get to this stage and worry I will relapse at a lunch planned with friends for Saturday. That’s if I can go and the headache moves….

I have got to this stage before too

Well done for the detox, take a couple of paracetamol and keep going

Can you maybe drive at the weekend to make sure you don't lapse?

I've been Alcohol Free for 3 years, you're detoxing, unfortunately it's going to get worse before it gets better
Lots of fluids, pain relief and rest when you can
Read up on 'Quit Lit' you'll be surprised at the damage alcohol can do, well done for getting this far
Either drive on Saturday or pass on the invite
