Sobriety date reset.
28 Aug 2017, about 5 pm, was the last time I drank. I don't drink anymore.
I agree with all of you.
When I think back of the hell on earth I endured getting to this state of grace, I made a mistake by drinking that shot.
But, I drank a shot (larger one) in Mexico, back in June 2016.
So, deciding to maintain my sober date even from that time forward was wrong.
I am not going to live a lie to myself and that is why I am glad I came clean with all of my online siblings here at SR.
I am 800 plus and 2. That is a good record. I am not a day counter anyway. I don't work the steps and don't have a sponsor. I am a nearly non drinker, that drank 2 times in over 2 years.
I still hate booze and after yesterday....will never drink again, even if I think it will ruin someones night or if I am going to get sick if I don't (that was my excuse back in June 2016).
I love the feedback of a symbolic raise of the glass and place the booze down. That will be the plan from now on. Back when I was a drunk if someone offered my their shot, they would not have to ask twice. Lol!
If I ever think I am going to get food poisoning, like in Mexico, I will just get it.
Thanks for the feedback.
At least now I can relate better to folks that relapse, even though my relapses were relatively small compared to what I know I am capable of doing.
I also can stop acting like something I am not.
2 years plus sober has been a lie for over a year.
Yours truly in sobriety.
Thanks.
