Im so confused. I haven't been on here for awhile and well fell off the wagon. Luckily nothing crazy happened. but today I am feeling sick and guilty. I was so proud of myself for making it to 40 days...Now back at day one. I still seem to think that I can handle the drink. Truth is, I just dont know when to stop....I'll be here more for support. Day 1 again.

I thought that for a long time and everything just started spiraling. I now know that if I continue "thinking I can handle it", I will die young.

You can totally do this. I fell off the wagon a ton on the way to sobriety.

People can get clean and stay clean. Hang in there

My ascent into sobriety has not been without stumbles along the way...each showing me the holes I needed to plug in my recovery cocoon. Many times I have returned to the false belief that I can somehow "manage" alcohol in my life. I think I have finally come to accept that sobriety ...full and complete sobriety is the only place my life, my mind, my spirit and my heart will grow. Yup, the sober garden is the only one my life will actually grow in.

Welcome back!

It's necessary to learn that we can't handle alcohol at all, ever. You can move on and continue to work on your recovery.

You too, huh?

I'd made it one day short of 6 weeks and fell off the wagon Saturday evening. Between work, my ongoing divorce, and some personal issues, It has become one helluva uphill battle.
