Today is the 4 year anniversary of one of the worst days of my life. Driving home at 2 o'clock in the morning in a drunkin rage because of a relationship that had been doomed from the beginning.. And it nearly cost me my life!! Only by the grace of God can i stand here and tell this story and say that not only did I make it out alive but I was the only one involved in the accident.
Now I wish I could say that from that day forward, I was done with alcohol and I never looked back again.. But I can't
It actually got MUCH worse after the accident bc at 24 years old, I moved back home and into my parents house bc I was unable to take care of myself for a good 6 months bc I broke my back in 2 different places along with my left arm and clavicle. I went in to a pretty deep state of depression bc I felt like a loser and quite worthless so I started drinking, yet again.. Trivializing my behavior all the while still in my neck brace bc of my drinking. I know I have a problem and I had been very successful in quitting for about six months all by myself until this past week.. And I've drank myself to sleep 2 nights straight. I feel so incredibly alone at the place in at right now and like nobody gets it.. It would be nice to get some feedback, thoughts, suggestions, criticisms, etc. Anything!!!
Thank you!<3

There, fixed it for you.
You're doing great! You're taking this seriously, you're not making light of it. That's important. But don't go too far in the other direction and beat yourself up. You slipped. Learn from it, and move on. You haven't lost those sober six months. You still accomplished that! Put this slip behind you and keep going.
