Confession Time
Well, after 9 weeks of sobriety, I drank last night. About 6 glasses of wine. I didn't enjoy it, it tasted like crap, I felt guilty, it didn't solve my problems and I feel like crap today. Plus I probably gained a pound or 2.
I did realize that I don't miss it. I don't WANT it in my life. So for that, I guess I am okay with what I did.
I realy enjoy being sober. I am re-committing to my sobriety and my health.
It really isn't worth drinking. Not in any way.

Yes. My lease is up and not being renewed. My mom lives down the street but won't let me stay in her guest room for 2 weeks while I sort out my finances for a new place.
My sister talked her into not helping me and now I am on my own and scared.

I can get a hotel..but there goes the money needed for the apartment.
welcome back.
good onya for the courage to own up.
I'd say, focus on this;

Often it's the failures that make us realize how badly we want the success...

I would rather sleep in my car and shower at work or the gym

Nicole, sorry to hear about your situation, but I think it's a tremendous realization you've made that you don't WANT to drink any more. That was a watershed moment for me.
Good for you for getting right back up.

Update...after sleepless nights and days scouring Craigslist, I have 2 great options. And my boyfriend is loaning my the deposit money.
I am relieved though nothing is in writing yet. But sad that I am estranged from my family currently...and for nothing that I did wrong.
And I have not had another drink. I really prefer water now....weird.

Ah, family...a great blessing or a great curse, sometimes both at once. I'm glad you're close to having something worked out, Liss. And maybe down the road you might come to some accord with your estranged family. All is possible when you're sober!
