So angry with myself
It was my one year wedding anniversary yesterday. It would also have been day 5 of being sober.
However, we'd been bought a lovely bottle of wine when we got married with strict instructions not to open until our anniversary.
I thought, just a one off, two glasses, this will be romantic.
You can guess what happened next. Finished the bottle, opened the champagne, washed down with some more wine.
Ended up passed out at 9.30pm and ruined our romantic night.
It's now 3.30am and I have a banging headache and am disgusted with myself.
Thanks for listening.
Day one today.
I'm such an idiot.

Not to worry Emmajems!!
I started to make real progress when I finally put those thoughts to rest, that 1st drink will always lead to the same conclusion, I have no control whatsoever over alcohol and so cutting out that 1st drink at all costs is the way forward!!
Pick yourself up, draw a line under it and go at things again!! You can do this!!

The fact that you're back here means you're moving in the right direction still. My suggestion, it's the weekend. Ask your husband for a do-over and go do something that doesn't involve alcohol to romantically celebrate, even if it is just a local hotel's jacuzzi suite. Set a 2nd year anniversary objective that is also not alcohol related, to give you both something to really aim for, something you can think about and smile when a craving strikes. It may help? Plus all of this to think about may curb the guilt trip you're feeling, and trust me, that guilt trip never ends well and isn't worth wasting your strength over. Just my two cents, I hope you feel better soon!!

Emmajems, sorry you stumbled. Use this as a tool and learn from this fall.
As innocent and deciving as the first drink is, for me it always leads to the end of the bottle or case of beer. There is no stopping that train after that first drink.
Stay strong and learn from this.
