Still running from the bottle
Although I ended up going out last night, I am still not going to give up. I went to a AA club in town today and picked up a meeting schedule for all local locations. I am new here and I would like to have someone to interact with sometimes. My story: never been a sloppy or angry drunk, no fights no DUI's, no jail, but still, alcohol manages my life and I'm getting tired of sacrificing my emotional and physical health to it. I did quit for 6 years and have been out for a little more than one. I had that "one" sip of wine. I am a small business owner with a staff who can run the place which makes it easier for me to sleep in without risk of getting fired - that doesn't help. My fiancé left me 6 weeks ago - for the other guy, not because of my drinking since she drinks too. I need to go on an overnight cross-country ski trip or something this weekend to get out of town in an attempt to help transitioning out of my current nightly bar routine. I'm just babbling my thoughts at you all -
