back again
Started drinking again about a month ago, I tried to justify it because of things being extremely stressful the last couple months, things were fine till last week when my wife was out of town, went on a few day bender, there's about 24 hours I don't remember. Tapered off for a couple days with beer and here I am again first day sober and am pretty depressed about making my wife worry when she was away at work, she forgives me but I'm having a rough day. What's the saying? doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I'm thinking maybe outpatient counseling or some AA alternative. Why would anybody make themselves this sick? well just checking in again.

Good to see you back zeppo. I did the same thing a few times, before I finally convinced myself I could never touch it again. We always think we'll magically be able to control it.
You didn't give up on your desire to get sober - you came back. That's what counts. We are here for you - you're never alone in the fight. Let's do this.

I know it's easier said than done, but don't beat yourself up... What's done is done. You can't change the past; only the future. What matters is that you're owning up to your mistake and ready to make it right again one day at a time.

Welcome back Zeppo 
I'd run with that feeling you have - that you need to do more for your recovery.
You've proven you can be sober for periods of time...now's the time to find out what you need to make the transition permanent

Well I've gone more than 6 months before, I've stayed sober for long periods through my life otherwise I'd be dead. I make that never again promise, I've been to treatment years ago and tried numerous different AA groups but really couldn't ever get into the 12 step program. Just don't know what to do to different. Well except to never touch another drop. I thank God that I didn't burn the house down or something. I guess right now it's one day at a time.
