I'm so proud of you working through your blip and stopping. That takes TRUE GUTS!!!!!!!
You might not feel it yet but some really good things may come out of tonight......
You've spotted your no. 1 trigger (chance to plan)
You know you can stop the madness and regroup (relapse is not inevitable)
You've been honest here (my no. 1 rule)
You can learn from this (more planning)
You know you can come here and vent INSTEAD of grabbing a drink next time (cough cough hint hint)
As the lovely Leigh often says "sobriety front and centre". Blinkers on and keep going.
Your journey is still well and truly on!
Take care sweetheart
I hope so. But thank you for your post. It helps me a little with my depression over my bad decision. I guess whats done is done and I should probably take this experience for what it is and learn from it. Hell...im sure Ive done worse in blackouts. I guess in life you have to cope with things and not turn to alcohol, and I hope to get there. But...I'm trying to learn how.
