I've already blacked out in front of them twice, then as the relationship fizzled out I continued drinking alone. I feel like crap again, and need to get back on the wagon. Tomorrow is day three for me. You can do it, you have to. It's only going to get worse from here and you know that. If people don't want to hang out with me, or date me, because i don't drink anymore than they did me a favor. I'd rather be alone and sober than to keep apologizing and making up excuses of why I got blackout, because eventually even your drinking friends won't want to hang out with you because you are too much of a drunk. Pick your options! The next few day will suck but you can get through it. You know it gets better after that.
