Appologies to this forum/moderators

Sorry for the thread I started yesterday (?)...was it yesterday?
Anyway, yeah, I was drunk...in case you couldn't guess *rolls eyes*
I wont do it again.

Very hard to get/stay sober when people who know you've got a drinking problem think it's 'funny' to give you whiskey for your birthday :/

The most I've been sober in the past 4 months is a day...I've had lots of 'half' days though...
...it was just free booze...nice $30 free booze...a day I didn't have to work.

But I guess part of me wanted to get blind drunk on it to make the person who gave it me feel guilty.

yay for being utterly pathetic :/

Richey,

Many of us who used to drink have made fools of ourselves. The good news is that we can always start over.

The more we take responsibility for our actions the quicker we can recover. We can not afford to blame others for what we do if we want to be well. Self pity has to go too. It is good to be able to admit we are wrong and go on about life.

That is right up until that time when we make a fool of ourselves right into the grave.

This disease is clinically described as a "chronic, progressive, fatal disease".

The "fatal" part reminds me we cannot "always" start over.

I'm not blaming people...not really xx...i know i had a choice whether to drink or not...but then i have that choice every day and still make the decision to drink...this was the same deicision but with extra 'incentive' to drink :/

Your not pathetic because your here, a part of you is getting ready to take the ultimate plunge while the other part of you is afraid to quit, for whatever excuse it's dug up, there is nothing to fear, easy no, nothing in life worth having is ever easy to obtain. Let that part of you that's ready take over for a few 24 hours, just see how it feels to be sober for one whole day, there's always tomorrow.

Fatal disease, you cant say that often enough. Yesterday I made a quick video of myself, talking to my future self about what will happen if I drink again.
