You can regain your sobriety by not picking up that first drink ever again. Break it down to 1 minute at a time if you need to,
You can make your life whole again. Rebuild it with like minded friends who are clean and sober. Recover your dignity and live your life doing the next right thing, every day!
Step 1 is the starting point. Admit to yourself that you are an alcoholic and do what your sponsor says. Always remember that 'half measures availed us nothing'.... you need to work the program to the best of your ability with rigorous honesty. Don't hold back or you risk relapse again.
You CAN get sober again!
