Here we go again!

After a few weeks of sobriety I tricked myself into thinking I could drink 'in moderation'


Damn you AV!

Anyways. I slipped up. And drank three bottles of wine (!!!) in one night. So here we go again.

I'm not sure whose hashtag it is but the quote 'Sobriety delivers everything alcohol promised' is at the forefront of my mind today.

I've changed my plan to include a counsellor and meetings. I can't do it alone obviously!


Hope everyone has a great SOBER day!

That and posting on SoberRecovery sounds like a good plan.

Thanks for posting! I think it's great that you recognized your AV and that you realized the plan you were using didn't work so you're willing to mix it up and go at it differently (meetings and a counselor)... Good job in getting right back to it! If I've learned one thing so far (and if you don't mind my two cents), that AV will adapt to your knew tactics and come at you from a different angle, keep an eye out for that P.O.S.!!

Good Luck

It can't be insulted. It can't be reasoned with. It can't be educated. It will never honor an agreement. It doesn't know fear, or sympathy, or compassion. It can't be shamed.

AV's must be starved.

It is a liar, a thief, and a murderer. Put it in a box and plug it's air holes.

Lot if things in life I've never mastered.
Drinking was at the top of the list.

Use this as a learning experience. Forgive yourself and move forward again.

Lawgirl, so glad you're back with us!

CaptainZing2000 said in a post "I never had a drinking problem. Ask me about my stopping problem." Those words are burned into my brain.

/hugs

Lawgirl, it's good that you've come back and that you recognize you need to do things a little differently. You can do this!
