back from rehab
Just under 5 weeks ago I picked up the wine. Don't know what the trigger was can't remember going to buy it even. And u wasn't drunk at that time. Scary. I behaved horribly. Iv just returned from a month in inpatient rehab. I'm bk out and I'm doing everything to stay sober. Iv had enough of the pain n misery alcohol brings. 4/ 5 mys a week. Sponsor and here are going to be support. Scared but hopeful and greatful to be nearly 5 weeks sober 🙏🏼

Sounds like you're approaching what I had when I entered the rooms: the "gift of desperation". I took suggestions the fellowship kept me sober through the hardest part. You're on the right path.

After some exhaustive research I found I had 2 triggers: being alcoholic and being awake. When those two were operative, odds were good I'd drink.
Once one recovers from alcoholism there are no triggers left that matter.

Welcome back, and great job on working through rehab and being at almost 5 weeks 
I did a 6 week inpatient treatment. My legs were definitely feeling wobbly when I got out. It does get better with time and keeping up with the maintenance of your program.
We're all here for you!
HAHAHA, that's good, really good.

Tha k you all fir your replies. I'm facing recovery I want this more than anything. It's going to be painful as iv a lot to face regarding my behaviour n accepting my part in the chaos of alcoholism. A friend has cut me off since I came back and my head is going not sure what iv done obsessions on this. I need to let go. My ex who I was sleeping with regularly has also ended things told me he no longer cares and that il never change. This rejection at such an early time hurts but bring it in I need to feel this pain to grow I see that now. I'm an alcoholic to my core I m powerless over alcohol and people. 5 weeks today feeling hope and gratitude
