Hello,
I'm now six days back and loving my life so far. A little less than a month ago I was drinking daily, hating my life, and very close to ending it all. I got sober originally in early June, but went away to college as a freshman and relapsed within the first two weeks. Went to a meeting at my home group when I was home on break and had some sort of experience. My Higher power was really on my side when I got back to school. I had the drive and the power to continue my one day back of sobriety and look at everything in a positive light. I am now going to two meetings daily with very little sobriety and am very happy with where I'm at right now.
One think I ask you to do is pray because thats all you can do right now! Pray that you're higher power will bring you to the rooms of AA! I'm 18 and am doing it on a college campus! ONE DAY AT A TIME

I don't have a child in sports, BH, but I used to sprint to my upstairs stash to slam a pint while my wife took a poop.
So yeah, we get it, and in the moment it is oftentimes so sad we don't dare look.
But, it can also be so, so impermanent. Don't let drinking own your future, darlin'.
We're always here to help.

I did that stuff all the time, okla. A few years ago, I never had it out of my system for long.
It's such a relief to be free of it. You can lay it down again - we know you can. Glad you posted about it, and please keep talking to us.

Stopping I can do....staying stopped is a different story. The shame and guilt are inbearable at times. I sometimes dream about things I've done/said. Its humiliating. It will be fine at some point--i know it takes time to undo the damage I've done with alcohol.

Shame and guilt kept me drinking for a long time. I drank all my life - into my 50's. I finally get it that there's no relief or fun left in it for me. Only misery. I hope you'll take it easy on yourself. You can begin again and stay stopped this time.
