Well I would have been at day 6…….but I’m back to day one. I started going to AA last week. Meet some awesome and helpful people. Stayed after the meeting to talk to some of the people with years of sobriety and got some phone numbers. One person offered to meet up at some meeting and we did 3 times.

I was feeling more confident each day but got in to an argument with my girl yesterday. Rather than going to a meeting or picking up the phone, I picked up a beer…..got drunk. Woke up with impending doom, guilt and ashamed. Alcohol has taken so much from me I would not even know where to begin.

Good news is that I called the guy who I have been going to meetings with and asked him to sponsor me……he said sure it would be an honor. He has 22 years of sobriety and I’m hoping he can show me how it is done. I just can’t beat King Alcohol alone………tried and tried only to fail miserable every time. I’m at the point where I will do anything to get and remain sober. Being a drunk is a miserable and lonely way to live.

DOCBOM - Sounds like you learned something.

I kept falling back on my same old behavior for awhile. Finally, I was just disgusted with the whole thing. I knew there was no comfort to be found in drinking. No fun either. It was just a lie I used to tell myself. You don't need it & it won't help. Glad you are back & that the beer didn't lead to a long binge.

Support is crucial in recovery and it sounds like you're gathering a lot of support. Keep going to those meetings and work the steps with your sponsor.
