If you did 13 years before you can do it again for sure!

"Not Today"

That gets me through every day.

You can do it again!

It's posts like these that scare the hell out of me.
What lead you to start drinking again?

Quit going to meetings
Quit working on my recovery
Started believing I was doing it
Isolated myself from everyone i know
Moved to a cottage hours from home and lived there alone
Isolated some more .
Then one day just said
What the f?
Im miserable and lonly
Wonder how i could make it worse ???

Clydesbonnie - it's so good to have you with us.

I know how you feel. I had 3 yrs. once & decided I could have 'a glass' of wine. 7 yrs. later I found SR & began to reclaim my life. This time it was much harder. I proved to myself that I couldn't touch it - I would never be able to have just one, or drink one night and stop. It sounds like you're fed up & ready to get free again. This is a great place for encouragement - we all understand what you're going through.

Hi clydesbonnie - welcome back
have you got a plan to help you stay sober this time?

They used to scare me too Frank until I realised the buck for my own recovery stops with me.

If I commit myself to never drinking again, and doing whatever is necessary for me to keep that commitment, I will not, cannot, drink again.

It's simplistic but it's the bottom line

I and I alone raise the glass to my lips.

If I refuse to do that again ever under any circumstances - no relapse
