Back Again Hopefully For Good!
My longest sobriety was 66 days and i cracked thinking i could handle myself. My problem is that when i drink, i drink fast and at times do not want to stop when i know im already intoxicated. The disappointment with myself and the concern i cause others is not worth it. Ive been sober for two days and i want to stay clean for real this time. Not much to say but that im happy to be back!

Yeah moderation would never work for me either, once I started, like you I drank quickly, as much as I could until I blacked out, it was never going to work in the long term . . . your right, once the FIRST drink becomes the problem, total sobriety is the answer!!

Thanks guys for the kind words, today is my 3rd day. I woke up at 7am ,went to the gym and did 30 minutes of drinking. I relapsed by hanging out around people that drink. I know is a total waste of time and life to just be around people that just want to drink and talk sport (i dont even watch sport). So as i analyze and write on my journal, i will not be around my old friends even if it means creating new ones. I only have 2 real friends that support me and i decided to just keep in contact with them.
No more going to bars on the weekend with the guys or anything that might trigger me to drink. I did 66 days and i could do it again and stay sober.
Much blessing to all you guys!

Hey Ghost ,
Welcome back . My problem was that if i had the first drink all bets were off as to what might happen . Me + any amount of drink = unmanageable .
The only solution i've found is complete abstinence forever . In making that decision and learning to live with it i've found a new and very agreeable way of life . It's something that takes time and needs work though .
Sounds like your making the next right decision for you , thats great
