I've gone more than four months without drinking now.
There's been instances where I've been tempted, but knowing how bad of a hangover I can get it or how disruptive my behavior can be have kept me away from the bottle.
My biggest test will be my upcoming cruise. I'm debating whether to bring the allotted amount of wine we're allowed to save money on drinks, if I we do decide to drink, or not bring it at all to avoid a temptation that will be there anyways.
It's hard to cure a hangover that's more psychological than physical. Not that it happened often, but having heart palpitations while your thoughts haunt you isn't fun. Whenever I did have the "normal" hangover, usually a shower, big meal and getting out of the house helped. There's been times where I had a beer in the morning and that helped, too, but lead to a crash later on.
