There goes my 5 days!
Had a naff day at work. Trouble with one if my my sons. But the most important thing is I had a meeting to go to (which I didn't ) walked the dog all the time thinking its Friday I should be drinking. Didn't call anyone. I'd obviously made the decision to drink and that's what I did. Useless. But obviously still have the desire not to or I wouldn't be posting this!

Never mind! At least you got up 5! Better to keep sober but it
is not the end of the world.
Pick yourself up, brush yourself down & start all over again....oh yeah, and back to metings too.

Hi you two. 
I did the same thing hundreds of times. Eventually we discover drinking doesn't make anything easier, more relaxing, more fun, etc. It isn't the solution to anything. It just gives us a slight break from our troubles by numbing us a bit - then it's back to reality and we're mad at ourselves all over again. I like your attitudes - back at it tomorrow. You're going to do this.

It's good not to beat ourselves up, but I do think we need to stop and look at what happened, learn our lessons, and do our utmost to ensure it doesn't happen again
No offense meant at all but 'Oh well I'll start again tomorrow' kept me drunk a lot of years.

You're right about learning from it to make sure it doesn't happen again. I just hate divulging "stuff going on in my life". I always worry what others will think so I say. Yeah it's all ok!! I won't next time xx thx
