Be careful with your sobriety. I just drank away 21 days of being sober over an agreement I thought I had with a friend.
Agreements are best when they are written down on paper and agreed to. This so called agreement cost me $4500.00 bucks but worse than that it cost me 21 days of being sober.
I guess this falls in to the resentment categories. I got so angry and hurt by this person “I” NO ONE ELSE CHOOSE to lose 21 days of being sober.
Yes the other person wronged me in my eyes but I was the one who picked up a bottle and decided to drink. No one poured the booze down my throat but me.
As we all know every time we pick up a drink we never know when we will find the strength and courage to stop again.
Yes I have been drinking today and I hate my choice, But it was my choice no one else.
So I hope I wake up tomorrow with the will power to quit again. It does get harder every time I have to admit.
Be careful out there.

You can get back to where you were Six - but yeah resentments are a killer - it's like drinking poison and hoping the other guy dies.
If whatever this is costs you $4500, so be it - you'll make that up in a month or two with not drinking at all, yeah?

Stop banging your head against the wall, throw away any remaining alcohol you have left, and get back on the horse!!!!!
None of us are perfect, it took me a few times exercising my sig line to finally adhere to it.
You know the drill and you can do this. Don't ever give up!

Six, I'm sorry you were hurt and that you decided to drink. The best thing to do now is to get rid of the alcohol and work on your plan. What can you do next time someone says or does something hurtful to you? You can do this !

I can get angry without it turning into resentment. The difference I have learned is if I wake up in the morning and I'm still angry, that's a resentment. For alcoholics they are not good as you are at least aware.
I show you, I'll hurt me!@@!@

That's the trick or idea........how we handle life, cause people will inevitably make us mad.
