How are you learning to be sober? Are you in a recovery program? Counseling? Your relapse should have taught you something...that quitting alcohol alone doesn't always prepare us for staying sober. Work on getting a plan in place if you don't have one.
Good luck.
doggonecarl,
Ive decided to quit cold turkey. I know there are many possibilities for relapse here, but this is what I think is best for me now. I would like to attend AA meetings in the near future and receive some counseling, but I don't feel like I'm ready for that. I have the support of my friends and family and I'm taking it day by day; staying productive for the most part. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to message me. Im all ears. I've came to this site with the hopes of learning from everyone else's experience and to look for feedback and support.
