making progress
haven't been on much recently but wanted to check in and say hello. Day 74 after a relapse. I was a binge drinker. The binges started becoming more often and the withdrawls got worse. I wanted to be a social drinker but once I got that relaxed feeling I wanted more. I couldn't handle the shame and regret anymore so Sept 1st 2014 I said enoough. I've slipped up a few times since then.
Today I feel like even with the couple of relapses (thinking I could drink socially again- ya right) I've made alot of progress.
If you are new please don't give up!!! Reach out for help, go to meetings, work with a sponsor. It's worth it.
At this point in my thinking I start feeling "left out" like I'm missing out on something. This time around I am working on reminding myslef that alcohol is a liar and society is being fooled by it. Not missing out on a dang thing!!!!
Thats all I got. Prayers for those that are struggling and hugs for everyone today!
