I'm sorry you're struggling again but I'm not disappointed - been there - we do so well, we slack off on the recovery and before we know it...blam.

Yep, you know what to do, Pedro. Stop drinking.
You've done it before.

All the benefits you remember from last time come from that one decision

You have to do it again, mate.
No shortcuts I'm afraid.

We believe in you Pedro - no point in being ashamed. You're among friends here. Let's try this again.

What is it you know you have to do? Sorry I haven't followed your previous posts.

I do know that an incredibly positive sign is that you are posting here, that you want sobriety, and you came to share here that you are struggling.

You aren't alone. We've all been where you are at now. They key is to reach out for help. This isn't something we can do on our own. Posting on SR is a critical first step.

I've seen you around Pedro. Welcome back. I don't think we can think our way out of this. I am still feeling my way out.

Alcohol is feeding that depression Pedro. To feel better you need to stop.

Pedro my very first SR friend! You have been missed! There's something that you said to me a very long time ago that still sticks with me today and keeps me sober! You told me to really look at the other side of the fence..... It's not always greener!

It's not about disappointment or regret, neither will get or keep you sober. Get back up and do it with a little more help this time. Change it up and recover don't just not drink!

Always here for my sober buddy, be well Pedro

You're posting back on here, Pedro, and that takes great strength of character. You've not disappointed anyone - we've all been there and we know what a long, hard road this is You're still fighting - that's the main thing

Pedro you haven't disappointed anyone here. Don't beat yourself up, the addiction loves that. Darkness, depression, secrets all feed the addiction and make us want to drink. If we wait until we feel better, stronger, smarter or better prepared to quit drinking again, it ain't gonna happen.

You can do this Pedro, start your life again and make day 1 happen now.

It's not easy, but it gets easier with practice. Dust off, get back to work, give it another shot man.

Pedro...you don't fail until you give up. Obviously, you haven't given up. You are here with us who are all in different stages of struggle and sobriety. Welcome back!!
