Tammy, I'm very sorry that you are going through this. I am very familiar with the intense feelings of guilt that come after a night of drinking. Actually, I'm pretty much in the same boat altogether, except that 16 days sober would be a miracle for me. I think I've had 16 consecutive days maybe four different times in my life, and two of those times were during my pregnancies, and another was during a long hospitalization. I too will be quick to conclude that I do not have a real problem and that it is okay to drink a few beers. I think if we keep in mind what has been said here about not having the first drink, not even the first sip, it can help us. All the best to you.
