It was common with me, if that helps! It didn't matter if I was devastated or celebrating, drinking was definitely the way to do it.
I'm back again after over a year solid and then the better part of 8 months sober.
Do you have a plan? I knew it was important and now I know just how important sticking with it can be! I tried some AA meetings and made some great friends, but mostly this site was what got and kept me sober. Even little things, like the monthly class threads and the daily gratitude threads helped tremendously.
If you haven't already I hope you'll join us in the Jan 2017 class thread!
