You may this time too, which leads to feeling, "See, I can get right back on track," so now it's easier to do it again, and well,... you know where I'm going with this. Maybe you can get away with, but I will venture to say that the two days you spent boozing will take you longer to make up than two days to get back to where you were three days ago, even if you don't realize it.

Now after that lecture, I'm happy you're back, and I wish you all the best.

Hi, Hevyn! And thank you! Yes, this time was just like all the other times before it. Drinking has ceased to be fun for me. It's destructive and depressing! Today, I am free! And I am so grateful for the support system I have found in AA.
