Hello
Hi everyone,
I guess it's obvious that I am looking for some help. Some perspective. And I guess some hope as well.
I am 53, with a good sized booze habit. I quit May 2, 2017 and that lasted for 32 days. I was hopeful and then decided to drink again. Light at first, but by the time two weeks had gone by, I was right back where I was. I am ashamed. I was proud of what I had done. I felt better in some ways, but I know that I had a ways yet to go before feeling better in a general/physical/psychological sense.
A friend of mine who is 8+ years sober, but lives 3,000 miles away told me to be kind to myself.
