Success And/Or Failure In Recovery
I was just thinking it's been nearly 10 years since I first went to a treatment program. Since that time I have had periods of sobriety and relapsing into binge drinking. The longest periods of sobriety usually being between 6-11 months. I have noticed my relapses have been getting shorter in duration. Maybe that is a good thing. I typical drink uncontrollably for 2-3 days & return to sobriety. I have not been arrested in 4+ years. Some say I have made progress while others say I'm a constant relapser. Physically I have recovered somewhat thanks to my periods of sobriety. But mentally, I still feel out of touch with reality and find myself thinking about picking up a cold beer.
