Second Chances!
So as some of you may of read I relapsed on Monday after 29 days sober and in my alcholic mind I thought i could begin to moderate my drinking yea since then I had a margarita on wednesday night, three beers on thursday night, and got completely wasted on friday night, so obviously this is not going to work for me. So I'm giving myself a second go at sobriety and hope this time I will be able to avoid situations that I may lose control at and say no to myself when I want to drink on my own.
This time I do plan on going to meetings as often as I can and also got a coworker of my boyfriends mom's number who is a recovering alcohlic that I can call if I need to talk to someone.
Wish me luck!!

Every day provides a new opportunity, we just need to seize it and hold on to it for life. I won't wish you good luck since luck has nothing to do with sobriety byt I will wish you all my best in your journey.

I too had false starts before I found solid recovery....and I did quit by connecting to my local AA.
I'm really glad you are adding things this time ..good for you...

Realizing you are powerless over alcohol, which I read into your post, is the first step towards recovery.
Contacting someone in recovery and asking for help is the single most important thing for you to do at this stage.
Just as your drinking progressed Wednesday to Thursday to Friday, so does the disease.
Alcohol wants only one thing: Your life.
Recovery is possible, one day at a time.
Peace.
