New to the forum

Hello all. Trying, once again, to stop and stay stopped. Quit last year for 90 days and then resumed, moderately at first....you know the rest :/ This last binge was a doozy, but I'm all detoxed now. Well, my body is, my mind is still full of regrets, resentments, etc...all that good stuff we all know so well 😋. But I'm sober right now and trying to remember that right now is what counts!

I'm glad you're back and working on recovery.

The mental part is tough, but as you said, stay in the moment.

You sound just like me. Off, then a social drink and bam, a week long bender. My last withdrawal scared the blank out of me. Hang in there. Keep logging on sr. It definitely helps.

Happy to meet you, ZenLifter. You never have to go back to that miserable life again.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me. Bunny, yes I guess I should have more of a plan. I do have some friends who have been through this that I can talk to. Truthfully I've always been a little uncomfortable at AA meetings.
