New Years stumble.
Not much else to say. Played this tape a couple of times...had 87 straight days.
Block of free time...stopped with AA and SR.
And finally stopped...poured 2 /3 rds of whiskey down bathroom sink.
Today is day 2. Not drinking today.

Yes. For starters stay away from danger zones.
I knew this 2 weeks away from work would be temptation...and I knew I needed to take action to get through it safely.
I had a plan...I wanted to check new AA meetings. I wanted to not let myself be left alone. But it obviously didn't happen. My GF was sick one night...and well that was all it took. Those words I'm not coming over tonight I'm sick...
And well it's like a bell went off...*Drink Now! Here's the chance!*
That was dec 27th. 3 days sober after that...but drank New Years eve too.
2 days sober now. Just finally can look at food again.
Very agitated / angered by any little thing today. But I am not alone.
Not drinking today. Really am through with this. It'll be more of the same nonsense in 2015 otherwise.

Well look at the positives. You know more of your triggers and how you could possibly avoid them. And you didnt drink day after day after day...
Just pick yourself up, dust off, and try again. We are all here for you.

Finding, don't give up! I remember your threads from a few months ago and u were injured. I was in the hospital last Christmas time with a horrible injury. I avoided all holiday season parties this year. I think most of my close friends now know about my drinking problem. They sent me nice messages to see how I was doing. This was my first Christmas/new year sober. It was very lonely but I have been attending two AA meetings a week since end of November and seeing a therapist twice a week over December.
Changed up my routine, avoided social gatherings where people will be drinking. Almost at a year sober. Lonely but I know that it's for the best and progress is being made. My therapist has made herself available 24/7 for me if I get to the point where I think I may break my sobriety. I am on SR with my mobile all the time now. Things like that got me thru the holidays sober.
New Years I stayed in and watched DVDs. It sucked, but my life is in the balance!
