New to Sober Recovery

I'm not new to AA, but have been a chronic 2-drink relapser...ie, every few months I have a couple drinks for a couple weeks, then stop and continue on sober again. I am also a recovering Love Addict, now in another 12-step group for that. It's my primary addiction, but alcohol and drugs are all part of the package and all get out of control. I joined this site to support my alcohol addiction primarily, because I want to quit my slipping once and for all, and recover.

Welcome, you've found a good spot.
What I do, is think that first drink through to the end and where it'll lead. The guilt and regret.
Just don't take that first drink and you won't have the second.

Nice to have you here.

Not sure, but I read that as she only has the 2 drinks per day...

easyrider, it's not about how often or how much we drink, it's the consequences....

and possibly not being able to live life without drinking.

Welcome to SR, Camille!
