Arrrrrrgggggggggg!!!!!!
that is all. Just frustrated with myself in slipping over and over.
I joined in March and I've put in a good deal of sober time since then, certainly more than I've had in years. My inability up until now to sustain a week sober though is telling in itself. I don't like teetering on the edge and feeling the pull of falling back into drinking every day.
On a positive note I've gotten people around me used to me going through an evening and not drinking, which is a milestone. I don't miss the hangovers and I have a great time sober. I guess I can look at is as having stretched my sober legs and getting used the feeling. I also haven't completely flunked out of the "class of May" yet, not that a date is overly important, but in my heart I know I don't want to drink and it would be wonderful to finally make it.
Going to give the rational recovery book a read, ordered a used copy off amazon.

This is great, talking with people who feel the same as I do and who 'get it'.

Stick with it, nmd. You can do this!
I hope you'll find the Rational Recovery book helpful. There's plenty of information here and on-line about AVRT to browse through while you're waiting for it to arrive
