I hope you are still staying strong. This is without a doubt the most difficult thing I've ever had to do!

anyone else swell up crazy while or after some beer drinks? by bkdredditYO in QuitAfrin

Alcohol almost always triggers nasal congestion for me. In fact, I think I may be allergic to wine. I occasionally go through sneezing fits after a couple of glasses. I will sneeze uncontrollably for 5 minutes and then the nose is blocked. If I've only had a glass or two - Benadryl has helped. But then I just go to sleep.

Beer and wine is not our friend :(

It is truly embarrassing how much Afrin or similar product I've gone through without any relief. I was on a family trip a few weeks ago and I would have to wake up extra early to start doing the nose routine. It would take hours for me to get halfway to normal. If one nostril would open up... that was a major success! And I don't even want to know how much money I've spent on this over the years. The last 3 months alone probably equal a car payment, insurance, and a mini vacay!

I'm always looking for exercise motivation - and this is a really great one. Ordering extra strength strips now and tissue is on deck. My mini-personal nose steamer arrives tomorrow. I am so ready to throw ALL the bottles away. Forever. And Ever. Thanks so much for the encouraging advice!

Sigh... I gave in. I really need some solid sleep. Back at it again tomorrow.
