Then maybe that hangover continued into a 3-week blurry mess filled with shopping sprees, taco bell, Ben & Jerry’s and nights you barely remember…. It can feel “good” temporarily...But then you wake up, your head is pounding, your whole body is aching, you shuffle to the bathroom and you catch a glance in the mirror…You look into your eyes, and your eyes don’t lie.
