Dear Mishelly .....
I can truly truly relate! Please read a post I just made. ANGER is a big part of why I drank.
Try to distract yourself by doing something you like (listen to me ..... I should listen to my own self)
Wishing you well and hoping your day gets better!

Thanks
Sadly, I lost count. I'm new to sobriety and certainly have relapsed and am very ashamed of it.
I know it can be done ..... but one must WANT it.
MOTIVATIONS: alienating and losing the respect, love, and presence of my loved ones (including two daughters)
Why did I relapse ..... although this sounds like an excuse (and perhaps it is), but it was sadness, stress, not knowing what else to do, and feeling that geeeee, if I just have a drink it'll be alright! WRONG! VERY WRONG!
