I feel like I have no business posting
because I didn't make it a week without drinking. I drank last night. I knew I should have posted or called someone but I didn't do either. I have to kick this thing. Very disappointed in myself.
Learn something from the experience...(triggers, being around friends who drink?) and move forward.
Stick around here...you have every business being here. We are all in the same boat. If anyone 'gets it' it is SR.
Post a lot. Ask a lot of questions that might be on your mind.
Make this happen.
Stay strong. You an do it!!

Get back on the horse. The fact that you are here and posting means something.
"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Don't give up! Keep trying!

You are only human, no one is certain to get it right first time out. Just get your thoughts together and do what you need to do to get it right next time.
I understand your personal disappointment 100%- make it your motivation.
The fact that you are here tells me that there is part of you that definitely wants to be sober. The key is you have to learn to listen to that part of you more than the part that wants to keep drinking. Sometimes online support isn't enough - have you considered AA or other group type recovery meetigns? Or perhaps counseling or IOP?
The bottom line is that you can absolutely get sober if you choose to and put in the effort do to it.

Hey I dart back in every once in a while - I never think that someone doesn't think I belong. We are all struggling - I definitely am, and I go away thinking I'm fine, and guess, what - I'm not! So here I am again.....hang in there.

Reminds me of when i was 30 an left a job, rented a house down south of Eastbourne for 6 months in order to stop drinking. Bought a black board and some chalk and then wrote on it the days of the month, first month that i decided to quit. Each day i would strike off a number relating to a day without drink. I never made it more than 2 weeks, then would have to wipe the board and start again. It literally drove me crazy so much so i went off on my merry way for another 8 more years of drinking before finally doing what i could have done at 30 and got outside help, by outside i mean someone or something other than me because i had a pretty good track record to indicate that maybe i really wasn't the best person to help myself stop drinking and be happy about it. Good luck, get some help!
