That escalated quickly.
Well, I made it 31 days.
And then... Got drunk last night. So drunk I don't even know how I made it home.
But I'm here. Uninjured. Unhappy and hungover, but OK.
Another day 1.

Hi.
Part of the reason I kept repeating the same old same old was because I was telling myself I could get sober again.
Soon I kept hearing about the relapsers that couldn’t have another come back because of suicides, choking to death on their vomit along with not so nice things that happen to drinkers.
Fear was a motivator to get me started to sober up. Practicing the principals of the program has worked for the following years.

geez thats awful and instead of your sobriety date you have your last black out. Its time to take this very very serious. You need to see a doctor and get a program. This is nothing to mess with. There is no more "oh well another day 1" this thing is brutal. Next black out could kill you. Im very concerned when I see posts like this.

"I was telling myself I could get sober again" OH SO TRUE! And the more I drank the more "Suicidal" I became. (it's not something I would ever do sober--I can't promise 100% I wouldn't in a blackout) Pat--Day One is where your new life begins! You can do this. You did for 31 days.

You are right.
I was doing well, and then I got bored and lonely... Apparently not a good combination...
I would really like to know where I went last night (or maybe I dont...)
Ugh. Feeling horrible.

Pat - now you will have to update your signature. Sorry you drank to a blackout point. Especially if you did (I don't know) drive. So dangerous.
Bored and lonely - sucks. BUT, drinking makes it worse.

Glad you are back, Pat.
Active alcoholism puts us at risk for for serious, sometimes dire, sometimes fatal consequences.
I understand that you are feeling terrible today but when your head starts to clear, I hope you spend some good time shoring up your plan for sustained sobriety - examine the situations that led to the events of last night and how avoid them in the future, look into face to face support such as AA or counseling, find and order some books on alcoholism and recovery, check out other techniques for achieving and maintaining sobriety such as RR and AVRT, schedule an appointment with your doctor to enlist his/her support, etc.
You are worth the effort, Pat; above all, do this for yourself and a bright future.
Feel better soon, Pat.

I don't think about the short-term good feeling i may get if i drink. I think about the lost hours where my body was out with strangers, and i was completely defenseless and drawing drunken attention to myself. That's what i think about when i think about drinking.
