dancinggirl - congrats on day 4. That's a really rough day to be on.
And yes, when what we're doing doesn't work, we need to do something else. I've finally got a sponsor, and I'm starting on the steps. Something I should have done weeks ago, but there's no point in beating myself up over it.

lostdotty - This is going to sound mean, I know. But whatever we put ahead of our recovery, we will lose. Jobs, relationships, anything. Why? Because if we carry on drinking, things will get worse. We will get worse. Harder to be around. Harder to live with. Less able to deal with things. Less able to do the things we need to.
Yes, if you quit, it will affect your relationship. It may not be in a negative way. It may be a positive change. But if you don't... that will affect it as well. And it's unlikely to be positive.
