(To someone I love dearly!)
PHYSICALLY... Purge thyself! (Toilet bowls, and bathroom floors, DO feel nice smooth and cool.) Ice the bruises. Drink water... slowly. Rest. Brush your teeth as soon as the retching stops, then gently move to eating a well diluted can of Campbell's Chicken Soup, or something just as plain and salty.
MENTALLY... Don't sweat the clothes... yet... Accept help if offered. Call ONLY ONE person you've known, and can trust, for more than 5 years. Then pull the battery out of your cell phone. Rest. When you wake up, can stand without pain, shower, drink more broth, go back to bed.
PHILOSOPHICALLY... Pride always reboots itself... Always... Times like these will be the dark times of your life, that can make for good stories. When your pride eventually shows up again... remember how shitty it felt when your pride left. Integrity and pride live together. Pride protects integrity. When you drink, pride leaves integrity unprotected, an your integrity may get injured. However pride returns quickly to protect and reassure your integrity.
Learn from this process.
Laugh at yourself.
And don't do it again... Well, at least not to soon!!
Campy Out!
