Totally annoyed at myself

I had a few weeks...mostly forced due to feeling like I was dying from an unrelated kidney infection. Felt fantastic...my chronic anxiety went away..physically way better....and of course, I started up again. What the hell is wrong with me? I know exactly what the cause of all my misery is.
It's no baffling secret. but I can't put it down

I'll get addicted to anything..and super compulsive...It's the way I am...I know I should channel that into a healthy addiction...I have before. I need to find the energy to start again...and I can't seem to do it...

Hi Patterson
A lot of us have had the hope that maybe all we needed was a break, or simply to cut back...but that never lasts for long.

my recovery started when I stopped looking at it like a diet - it's a permanent holistic lifestyle change - and it's a good change.

It all starts with a day one - you have it in you to do 24 hours yeah?

Patt,

Ime...the good news are those physical and mental lingering problems are what helped me get this far.

The bad news is it only gets worse w each relapse.

Eventually, we go crazy and die.

I stopped before I died. I am pretty sure I am a bit crazy from too much drinking.

But, I am getting better by the second.

Thanks.

Yes you can. You just did for a few weeks because of your kidney infection.

Seems like there might be some useful information there.

Best of Luck on Your Journey!
