17 Days Sober
This is my first post on this site. I am a functioning alcoholic with a very steady job, home, marriage, and healthy kids. I live in a upper middle class neighborhood and I am very active in my church as well. Unfortunately, I got into a bad habit of drinking by myself until I pass out every night. I once went 6 months sober but thought I could control my drinking by having one glass of wine during our anniversary dinner a couple of years ago. I am ready to give it a try again and I have been 17 days sober so far. I want to avoid having that first drink again. Does anyone have any advice?
