So I've done this twice before...I mean, really tried to stay sober. I quit once for 2 months and once for 3 months. I made the mistake of thinking that I could handle a drink or two, but I absolutely cannot. One or two drinks leads right back to drinking a six pack every day.
I've decided to do things differently. I'm going to go to AA every week. I say every week because I live in a really rural, small town and there is only one meeting a week here. I will be on SR every day, and I will read personal stories out of the big book every day. Most of all I need to retrain my brain to believe the fact that I can't ever take one more drink.
