it does NOT GET BETTER
7 days in. Off of an incredible weekend.
Took the afternoon off to do work at home.
Before the kid's came home I dexited to hit a tavern I have not been to in years. High centered my car leaving the lot.
Had to call my husband as well as my son's friends dad to get my car out. Under carriage damage is unknown.
Do not do it. It's NOT worth loosing all.
We need a **** THIS button.

7 days is great. Subtract the alcohol from the situation. You are on your road to being alcohol free.
A handful of years back, while completely sober yet jet-lagged and late for work I backed out of a driveway and did the exact same thing to my car.
sobermeplease, I'm not sure what does not get better...but keep moving forward. Tomorrow is a new day.

Seven days is great but as Suki asked, why did you go to the tavern? When I first got sober I had to stick to routine AND try not to be home by myself for a while. Too tempting to think "no one will know" or "I'll tackle that work later."
I hope you are okay. Do some thinking about why you went to the tavern. I always had to ask myself the same questions and then work on changing my sober game plan.

Sorry about the car but glad it sounds like noone was hurt.
I have to go with those who say the Tavern was a bad idea.
I really had to make decisions that bolstered my recovery - and for a while (quite a long while) I really erred on the side of caution...
Frankly, it was *that* important to me to stay sober

I went to the tavern because I didn't want to be home when my kids ca me home from school. If I am home when they get home they know I've been drinking. What a sick mind that tries to 'hide" such a pathetic action.
They are not stupid.
