I begin again. I was too confident in my week of sobriety. Thought I could handle a few glasses of wine. I couldn't. Confirmation that I am not a problem drinker, but indeed an addict.

As always, thanks to all out there who provide support and stories.

So, you can learn and move on.

I kept doing the same things over and over too Change - eventually though we have to try a different way if we want something different

glad you're still here

Try and try again. i have tried so many times i have to believe that this will be the time. I have learned something about myself everytime i have failed. good luck this time.

I did it too, Change. Once I finally realized I had NO control left in me, I began to get well. One sip and I was off to the races. It took awhile to sink in, but once it did - I sort of relaxed & just stopped trying to manage 'a few'. So much easier to kick it out of your life all together. You can definitely do this!

Lot of good adive up there, I was getting good at quiting, most friends would just grin when I told them, but I didnt quit trying, I feel peace now about my alcohol problem, I wouldnt even let a drop hit my tounge.

This is doable!

It took me a while to 'get it' but once I realized that I needed to quit and not try to control it I started making progress.

I relapsed two weeks into my recovery. I had vowed to quit forever. I was shocked how easy that vow was broken by a decision to drink. But for me I guess I needed to fail to prove to myself I had a problem.

Been sober 15 months since. Wish you the same success.
