Hi everyone...
I had came to this forum about 2 years ago in search of help...I had quit drinking on January 1, 2007 and kept that going for 1.5 years. Here I am again... In May my ex fiance and I were going through a very rough patch and with a trip to Vegas around that time I began drinking again. Then in July I had lost my job.
Now I know I'm headed down the same path as before... Since then I have began drinking about 5-6 days a week and not lightly. I just decided yesterday that I've had enough and have to do it again! It is very scary because I know how hard it was the first time, but I do know it gets soo much easier as time passes.
I know I have a great life--great family, friends, home, job...but I still have continued to drink knowing that it will only cause problems... My sister-in-law tries to tell me that I should just drink on the weekends. The problem is I start drinking through the week and have called off work due to it.
I am on my way to recovery--this is but the second day and I really really want this time to last forever!
Everyone on here has been such great help and I'm happy to be a part of the site!
Thanks!

Welcome back to SR Stacy, I hope you stick around this time. You probably know from your first trip through sobriety that you never have to drink again. Recovery and an amazing life is possible without a drop of alcohol.

Hi Stacy. Maybe you needed that one last time to prove to yourself you can't play with it ever again. It's great that you're back here - you could've done alot of damage if you didn't have the sense to admit the truth. Congratulations on your decision.

Welcome back Stacy! Glad you came back! Lots of good recovery going on here all the time. Remember, you never have to go thru this again! Just don't pick up that first drink!
