So many still stumbling.

Hi all.. I am back again, still trying to get this sobriety life thing right, after a very nasty relapse. I never knew how bad it really gets, picking back up again.. One drink that spins a few months down a deep and desolate hole. Hell, really. I have noticed quite a few of us have stumbled again, and for all these struggling souls, my heart goes out to you. I hope you each dont quit trying, because you are beautiful people who just dont realize it. I hope I have learned my lessons, or at least take these last few months experience and carry them as a reminder that going back out never seems to be a positive fun time. For me, going back out was hell, and I feel blessed to be here... Best of the Season, all...

Thank you all for not hating me... I have enough self hatred, and was worried I would be thrashed and chastised. I am well through the detox period now. I was sober for a long time in 2012.. I want to be sober through all of 2013. I always knew I was an alcoholic, I guess I just didn't think I was the down and out serious alcoholic. I now am thoroughly convinced. Most will ask, what is my plan, what will I do differently now? I am still working that out, but I cant drink, that much I know...thank you all

I'm keeping all in my thoughts and prayers. This is not easy by any means. Believe me it makes me realize that I'm not immune to having a relapse I just pray and try to get thru each day sober and try to better myself.
