gave in
After 15 days sober, for some reason today I gave in and bought a bottle of wine. I drank about 3 quarters of it. I don't even know what made me do it, have done so well since getting over the withdrawals, felt physically better and thought I could really do this. There was no reason for me to give in, didnt even fancy a drink, just thought "why not?". The good thing I suppose was that I got no buzz from it this time, has just made me feel sleepy and have a headache. So at least I see there's no point in doing it again. Even though I haven't really drank much, will I still get the horrible withdrawal symptoms tomorrow? I'm praying I dont. What a silly girl I am!!

You cant figure out why? While sober? Thats your addiction demon getting the best of you. Im asked all the time why I drank again and I haven't an answer but Im slowly looking into myself because I have to figure this out before I do it again. Get back up on your feet and seek more support! Have faith, it takes time to recover and even when you stay sober recovery is never really finished. One Day AT A Time!
I've done the same thing in the past. Not sure what I was searching for, since all it brought me was misery. Glad you caught yourself pinky, & didn't go on a binge (like I probably would have). We always run the risk of that when we pick up.
