MCAL880

It's been a while since I last posted. I've been slipping up pretty frequently, fell into the same binge drinking pattern again. I experienced the deaths of two family members within two days of eachother almost a month ago, which set off a terrible binge cycle. But I think I have finally managed to pull myself through the darkness. For the first time since their deaths I have managed a completely sober weekend. I felt some cravings last night, but turned to a pint of Neapolitan ice cream and mindless games on my cell phone instead. I'm sitting here on the couch enjoying a nice cup of coffee and getting ready to read a book to my son. I would normally been too hungover to do anything else but sit him in front of the TV with a bowl of cereal. So thankful to have made it through the weekend. One day at a time.

I hope the support here can help you stay sober for good!

So sorry for your losses...

Alcohol really just covers up grief and buries it down deep inside. Congrats on the sober weekend. Reach out to others when you need help -- whether that's here or in "real life"

Best wishes,
