Even though I don't drink often, when I do it always seems to have severe (potential) consequences. Still trying to see how things will be with work after interacting with a customer and not remembering the interaction. That is still hanging over my head as I have not talked with the customer since and need to to hopefully fix things. Not good. Wife is/was pretty pissed as I said some very mean things. She won't hang around forever that is for sure. Last quit I almost made it to a year! Here is to a lifelong quit this time!

After relapsing many times and currently being off the drink; I can honestly say, it isn't worth having even one drink - it gives nothing and takes everything. BUT I can't say with certainty that I won't drink again; when I've relapsed, I've often had no idea why - it feels as if the alcohol pushes aside everything else in my mind and blocks out all the arguments against it. I suppose I'll just try to be readier for those moments. Stay aware and don't give the drink the chance to step in.
