Start of day 2....keep thinking about crazy this is! I joined the August 2014 group and here I am joining this group. I can't believe/understand why I haven't been able to address my binge drinking issue. I recall I had an episode when I was 30. Felt horrible the next day and simply said I'm not doing that anymore and I didn't. Things spiraled out of control after October 2010. My step daughter died of an accidental drug overdose/combination. She passed in our home. Very traumatic. After my husband and I started drinking more, started going to bars, etc. Maybe it was just to get out of the house, to be around other people. It got really bad..ending up doing stuff I'm totally embarrassed about. Fast forward to 2014...changed jobs, moved to another states. Many things in our lives are better but I am still struggling with binge drinking. I want to build a recovery plan and want to stick with it. I don't know how to build an effective recovery plan.
