Cloudy Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 like many of you (i suspect) at the end of a cycle we are looking forward to our first drink. what are people's experience of having that first drink too early...is it just a single cluster attack or has it triggered a new round of attacks ? what are your general rule of thumb for the amount of time from your last attack to the first drink (and do shadows count?) appreciate your responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I usually wait till I am two weeks out from the last hit. It has worked for me. Some test those waters sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoscoPiko Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 It would be worth knowing if anyone has had an extended cycle due to alcohol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Bosco, I have not heard of anyone doing that. Alcohol is such an awful trigger, most avoid it altogether. Some can still inbibe clear spirits, say vodka, without getting slammed. If it triggers, most avoid during cycle. Just not worth it. Unless you are a hardcore alcoholic, I can't see it happening. I have heard of a couple of Cher's who partied hearty during cycle for a particular reason for one night. Even they went back to 'Nope!' It was just a special occasion that caused them to jump that fence for a night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
