Unhappy Back to SR and on day 1

Hi guys, back again (last attempt was 5/24 and I failed miserably). As I may have mentioned in a few threads, I was recently promoted to Front of house manager at the restaurant that I work at. The stress is overwhelming. I not only consume two shift drinks but continue to drink after. I have fallen back into my old patterns of promiscuity, reckless behavior, getting my heart broken and the withdrawals are back. I woke up with the shakes this morning, it's been a while since I've had those. I was scared I might have another seizure. I know I've told this same story on here before. I'm just sad and alone and needed to be reminded that there are others out there who have been through this or are currently experiencing struggles with trying to stay sober and finding little success. I love all you guys so much, and I'm embarrassed that I have been gone/ keep falling off the wagon.

Welcome back, cornpone!

I am sure you know that seizures can be very dangerous! Is there someone with you who can help you if needed?

Just so happy to see you love.
I'm so sorry this has been such a rough time for you....I know that feeling of being sad and alone and stuck in a bad cycle.

But you are not alone ~ we are all here with you.
We do this together.

Welcome back. If what you did last time didn't work...add something.
I remember hearing that I could quit drinking the moment that my urge to quit became stronger than my urge to drink....and that I needed to go to any measure.
My very best - I promise, it gets better and better...

Hi cornpone & welcome back! I'm sorry you've been drinking again -- I think multiple relapses wear a person down. The good news is that your last drink can be your last. And then you never have to feel this way again.

Do you have a plan to help you get sober again and stay that way?

I'm so glad to see you again! I've missed you. Your story made me think of this thread and I hope it brings you comfort and also a lot of hope. I also hope we'll see you more too!
