Hi Everyone, I was sober for 4 months back in 2007, then I thought I could drink again. I lost my job in January of this year and found my self with to much time to think even though I renovated my house over the last few months. I would wait for my Wife and Son to leave for the day and then when the beer store opened pick up a six pack of tall boys, drink them during the day and get rid of the cans before they got home. Always felt like a idiot afterwards and usually the next day didn't get much done. The meetings don't really work for me either. And I find that the hardest part for me is just understanding that drinking is not good for me, I say stupid things when drinking, waste so much valuable time (life is so short to be drunk and stupid). I don't want to have any more blackouts and be terrified the next day that maybe I have done something that can't be fixed. Well thanks for listening to me today on day two of being sober.
Talk soon,
Rob
