Very sorry to hear that your drinking again. Yes, it is very hard. The important thing is that you don't give up on yourself. Many people hits bumps in the road before sobriety takes hold so your not alone with that. I think it's real important that you figure out why you decided to drink again and add to your plan so it doesn't happen again. I am constantly working on my plan to make it stronger.
The most important thing you need to do right now is to stop drinking, before things get much worse, and you know it will. John

The fault, Horatio, lies not in us but in our bars.
Sorry couldn't resist.
So you're drinking. Is it the wonderful, warm and peaceful place your AV told you it was? Or does it suck?
You now know it's possible to live another way. You can stop the suckage.
Rooting for you...

You are right. Drinking for many they believe is the easier choice as it is familiar and comfortable. The reality, however, that living the drinking life is hard....it is hard physically, mentally, and spiritually on us.
The most courageous, strong, true, and real people are the ones who are in recovery and have done whatever it takes to turn their life around. Be this person.

My wife tells me I used to just snore loudly when I was drunk before. She tells me now I snore but I also scream out at night - as if in pain. Thank you for your responses. It makes me feel, well - it makes me feel good. As if I somehow belong. Or am part of something bigger. I will try again. Thank you.
Many will say that AA is not the program for them.
But, it sure gave me some good sober roots.
A sober one can branch out from there.
I first had to learn to keep the plug in the jug.
8 years later and I still attend AA meetings.
For we know what they say - if it works don't fix it.

No AA here. Liquor is illegal. So it is difficult to find support groups. And it would, for various reasons, be a challenge for me to go to any group. So I need to make a plan for myself and try and stick to it. My spouse is supportive. I plan to lean on her. I could go for one on one therapy - but the calibre of the therapists and their commitment to confidentiality is suspect. Anyway. Making a plan. Need to do things differently. Day 2 almost complete. Time for a run. Here's to a better and sober tomorrow and good luck to all those trying to make a better life for themselves.
