2 years tomorrow and tonight I feel very weak, matter what I seem to do today I can't get it off my mind. Why not just one drink?I feel like I deserve it, I just want to relax and have a glass of wine

Just don't do it Charliee.

There are no answers back the way we came.
Wherever the answers are for you they're ahead, not behind.

There's never just one drink. The way we drank was not a reward, it was a punishment, self destruction, chaos...

you deserve not to throw away that two years streak- congratulations for tomorrow

I agree, don't do it.

Remember the bad times after the drunkeness, embarrassment, regrets, hangover.ugh.

Have some cake to celebrate 3 whole years of sobriety, tomorrow.

Let it pass. Wake up tomorrow and be very proud of an amazing accomplishment.

Congrats on 2 years!! What an accomplishment! You should be proud.

You won't drink, I just know it. You've worked too hard to get so far.

Enjoy your success by treating yourself to a shopping spree- something tangible.

Charlie.......I had a close call tonight, but didn't drink. Just read this from another thread.

I'm just under 90 days & used alcohol as a "reward"....it is no reward at all. Hang on to your 2 years.

Congratulations on your two years Charliee. What you deserve is to feel very proud of your achievement and hard work. Drinking and all the negativity that surrounds it is the last thing you deserve. Keep moving forward!

Congratulations on 2 years, Charliee!
That's a fantastic achievement.
Carry on with all the wisdom you've gained.
After all, you know that it won't be just one glass.
Do you really want to deal with another day one,
after 2 years of success?

Don't throw it all away, hun.

Two years of blood, sweat and tears, it's not worth it.

One glass will lead to many, you already know that.

You deserve better

2 years is fantastic. For me all the the posts here about people who went back to drinking after 2 months or 20 years all say it ended badly - escalted and are back here trying to get sober again. So for me it doesn't look like anyone is like "oh wow that one drink was so worth it" Honestly no one who went back ever was happy they did - at least not that I've been able to find. Stay strong and remember that you are so worth this sober life.

feelings change......

Don't drink, you may take off where you left and your body may not be able to handle it now

Don't equate alcohol with relaxing, we can relax and have an enjoyable time without drinking!!

Many people in the world don't drink and still have relaxing times, we can too!!

As others have said please don't do it.

I'm early enough in recovery to remember how bad things were.
Such a contrast these days.

2 years is awesome

doggonecarl

Milestones are tough, and we wouldn't be in recovery if we weren't good at undermining our own success.

Pretty sure it wasn't a single glass of wine that brought you here, or a single glass you'd drink if you started.

I'm not sure why you feel you deserve a glass of wine unless you feel like sobriety has been a punishment. At two years you do deserve to treat yourself to something...just not alcohol.

Hope you make it to two years.

I'm new on this board, but not new at the game. It only get's a lot worse. Please don't.
