Day 1 AGAIN
Insomnia had me googling. .. which lead to this site.
Yesterday, Sunday, I relapsed after a week of not drinking.
I've been drinking almost every day for 3 years since shortly after my multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
Now I'm overweight, unfit, high blood pressure, thyroid issues, depressed.... I see an endocrinologist on Oct 30th.
I'm sure there is much more to list under the physical issues. I know the last 3 years has changed me mentally and emotionally as well. Not for good I know.
I was sober for over 3 years when I was diagnosed with MS. I slowly stopped "recovery" when I should have been embracing it to help accept the diagnosis.
I'm mad at myself every time I think about getting sober because I know the amount of effort and work it took the first time. One day at a time.....one moment.
I'm very hard on myself.
Well this is a start. I know I need support. Not sure if I'll go to AA or not.
Thanks for reading my first post!

Hi there!! I am on Day 1 also "again" so I will support you. We can do this!! I can't attend AA meetings, so I plan to use the resources and get support here. Be sure to check in daily, or when you can. I'm rooting for you!!

Hi, great support on here and many people use different methods through recovery that are suited to them.
I wouldn't write anything off if it helps keep you sober and happy.
Lots of info on here with regards to recovery plans, have a good read and see if anything chimes with you.
Best of luck
