Hello Everyone

Hello everyone.
Joining the February group. I've been on and off SR for a few years. Have done a five month stretch of sobriety, and some shorter stretches. Looking to make sobriety one of my life passions, one day at a time. I stayed sober all last week, but was exhausted and broke down yesterday. Should have taken a nap, or gone for a walk. Drank instead. It was minimal, but damage is done. Back to Day 1.
Excited about a sober February and beyond.

Welcome back. Some don't make it.
You know what sobriety feels like, so which would you rather have, sobriety or drunkenness?

I had a lot of day ones. You can do it again.
And remember you never have to drink again.

Welcome back, ChrisBen. Joining a Class is a great idea; I was in the February 2014 Class and found it so beneficial.

Rooting for you, ChrisBen.

Welcome back Chrisben. Based on your past success with breaking this cycle, it sounds like you need to adjust your plan for the long haul.

Each time I relapsed in the past, I found myself drifting further and further away from SR, until I would drink. It has really helped to stay close to SR; or any recovery support group that works for you.

Glad you're back posting, you can do this.
