I've had a couple drinks

and I could give you a litany of reasons why...but in the end, it doesn't matter.

Cheers! And Happy New Year and New Life ya'all

Hope you've gotten it out of your system and that you will be back to sobriety tomorrow in the New Year! Looking forward to seeing you then!

It doesn't matter Serenidad. I tried and failed. Tomorrow is another day and year.

that's too bad, ArtFriend.
doesn't look like a happy start to the new year or a good finish to the old.
never mind "reasons"
hope you soon find reasons to go for sobriety again.

Sorry, friend, but I gotta give ya one of these:

You're smarter & better than this. I and so many others here know this & believe in you. My wish for you for 2015 is that you learn to believe in yourself. Why wait until tomorrow? Dump it & start over now.

Peace & hope,
~Hearts

Well, don't continue adding on to those couple of drinks. Pour out the rest and be done with it!

Unfortunately drinking is the problem not the solution.

I'd say cut your losses and stop right now....think it through, artfriend. Think about how terrible you will feel tomorrow. Maybe if you stop now it won't be so bad. Anyway, I hope you come right back and start again tomorrow. We'll all be here.

Well, back at it tomorrow. No point trying to reason now, but in the light of tomorrow, I wish you the strength to see your path back to sober life. You can do this. Just commit. With ferocity!

HNY. Start planning for tomorrow now. Water, vitamins, nice bed. It will much be much easier to get back in the game if you don't wake up feeling too hungover.

Artfriend you posted this in newcomers when you could have posted in alcoholism

Did you think about 24h Newbies seeing this and the effect it may have ?

Artfriend ive been telling ppl who are struggling to stay sober to possibly consider rehab/inpatient to help conqer thier addiction

do you think its time ?

Good luck with having a sober 2nd January and i wish you luck peace & happiness for 2015

A casual post that you've had a "couple of drinks", makes it sound little and unimportant, as if it's only a small thing of no consequence...I remember I used to do the same thing myself.

Don't you deserve a better life than this merry go round, Art ?

What about rehab -really get on it this time ? New year, new life ?

I wish you all the best for 2015 x
