I have made many significant, positive changes over the last year, and now it's time to put the icing on the cake and get sober again, to my authentic self.
I can do this.
Thank you for being here. Today is Day 1 AGAIN. I will never quit quitting.

This happened to me also, I believed I could handle just the one drink or drink moderately. That is probably the number one mistake for alcoholics (be nice to be like those in control wouldn't it). So yeah now I'm back to square one after not drinking for 6/7 years and struggling. I don't stop till my body does and that's dangerous. Recently went 7 days sober which was hard, avoiding temptation would seem impossible but it can be done. Don't give up!
