Confession
I had a positive weekend and got lots done around the house. We went out for dinner and I talked myself into having a couple of beers as with my partner around I knew she would't let me have any more.
I'm happy in one way as I managed to just have a couple and resisted anymore, but sad in another way and feel like 1 is as bad as 100. Strange the way an alcoholic's mind works.
Anyway, I'm resetting the counter to 1 day again. Just wanted to let everyone know. My confession!
Best wishes everyone,
Spikeman

I made it 2 weeks then slipped for 2 weeks. Started over and made is 3 weeks then thought I could just drink for tonight. I am way past thinking I can have one or two. With me it is more like how long will this bender last. That is when I stopped lurking and started participating.
Don't beat yourself up. It happened, you came right back. I admire that!

Hi Spikeman. You today, me tomorrow! We're only human and these things happen. I admire you for being big enough to get back on S.R and admit it. You got this far so you know you can do it again. Tomorrows a new day. Maybe next time you go out for dinner, tell your partner you don't want any and not to let you be pursuaded! Keep posting! G.xx

Great that you're still here, spikeman! I've done the "one or two" plenty of times and somehow thought I could do it again, and again, and...... it turned into a whole lot more before I was done. So, give yourself a pat on the back for getting back on track.
