Resurrection

Today is day 1 for me! No better day than Easter! New beginnings. I've put together a sober year here, a sober year there, but it's never stuck. I've been back to drinking for about a year. It's really messing things up. My anxiety and depression is through the roof. I'm so disappointed in myself. I black out almost every time I drink, which is about once per week. I don't respect myself anymore. Ugh, I'm done. I'm not going to pick up the first drink. I may go to AA again. My last and only sponsor went back out and that was the beginning of my demise. Sucks that it happened, but it did. Hard to trust another sponsor now. Or have a desire to find one. Regardless, I won't drink today. I'm looking,G forward to lots and lots of sober days ahead!!! One day at a time! Thanks, everyone, for being here. It's a lonely disease.

I was exactly where you were a day and a half ago.
I black out every time I drink too! So I know exactly what you're talking about!

So glad you're here!!

Welcome. We have similar stories: Drank once a week on average (sometimes twice). Almost always to blackout level.
There's a lot of wisdom in this community. Soak it up.

Welcome to day one.

If sponsors used the same criteria for sponsees that you used for sponsors I don't think things would work very well.

We all have the potential to drink but we help each other to stay sober today
