Hello all, today is day one for me. Like others in this group, I have tried many times before to remain sober but have ultimately failed. The last period of sobriety for me lasted 84 days. I was SOOO upset when I started drinking again as it once again started the loop of craving and satisfying the craving with alcohol. What is different for me this time is I am working on changing the way I actually view alcohol....seeing it as a toxin that is poisoning my body and brain instead of some kind of panacea. I'm so tired of going through the insane cycle of remorsefulness and shame in the morning and drunkenness at night.
I'm glad to be a part of this group.
