Ok. I'm back.

With a few more unsuccessful attempts at moderation I'm back with my tail between my legs, full of anxiety and sadness, embarrassment. You know how it goes. Its time I give this sobriety thing another shot because the alternative isn't really working too well for me. I give up trying to moderate (and by moderate I mean a half pint of vodka) because it only lasts a few days at most before I'm drinking myself into a blackout or passing out. ::sigh:: I'm SO OVER THIS ****. So. I'm back. Again.

Welcome back, erin8; nice to see you.

All of my attempts at moderation failed miserably, too, resulting in more Day 1s than I care to remember.

You can do this!

Right now my only plan is just to stay sober today, I'll be reading on here for awhile though. I need to come up with something soon because I know I have a short memory and this feeling will only buy me a few days, maybe a week before I go back into the crazy thinking.

Get more support. Do you have any real life support? What about some AA meetings? Lots of support there.

I just purchased Rational Recovery and The Four Agreements. They should be here in a week. I may still go to a few meetings for the support system but I don't think I'll be relying on it for my recovery so much this time. Its time to dig deeper.
