I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. I was sober for quite a while & had a 1 day slip now back "on the wagon". I use to get hung up on the day counting & be so angry with myself that I would stay in the relapse for weeks or even months.

AA is a great start. The sooner you get involved the better. Talk to folks at the meeting. The 12 steps of AA saved my life. Ive been sober 4 years now and couldnt be happier. The key to AA is just doing the work that is suggested. It works!
Best wishes to you!

(You can call your AA friends before you drink... you don't have to wait until after)
All the best.

Flyerfan, that is what I'm gonna do starting tonight with a meeting. Luckily I was able to get a hold of the guy who really helped me a lot the last time when I was in AA..It sure helps to be able to talk to other people that has the same problems with alcoholism.

Don't pick up no matter what. It's hard, but the more you pick up the harder it is.
Sometimes I feel that people think there is a magical solution. There is no easier, softer way in the beginning. It gets easier with time, but you have to be really determined in the beginning.

I have no choice this time around. If I don't focus on sobriety I'm gonna lose my wife this time. Now that I'm sobering up I'm getting to hear all the hurtful things I said and did over the past few days.. Nothing worse than not remembering a thing that happened, Its like I lost about a week of my life.

Well here I am on day two..And I tell you I need to find me a hobby or something to do today. I'm feeling much better health wise this morning, got a good nights sleep.But all the things I done during my binge are really bugging me, I feel so ashamed to be around the family I hurt.
