Day 5

back at day 5 ... again. Which scares me because, holidays. I feel distant. Like I知 here but I知 not. The brain fog hasn稚 quite lifted. I think I have the support I need right now, which is good. A different kind of support. But the anxiety has lingered a long time this time. I知 sleeping ok... the last two nights. I wish I could just hole up in my room with some club soda and watch some mind numbing tv, but I have my work Christmas party tonight. Luckily I have one of my friends accompanying me who will help me stay on the wagon.

Damnit. Why do I keep doing this to myself?

You may be doing it for the same reason I did for thirty years. You're an alcoholic, but only you can decide that.
I had a lot of day fives. And fours. And threes.
I simply couldn't quit on my own.

I came here for support. I went to AA. And slowly but surely my drinking stopped. In fact in three days I will have ten years sober if I just don't pick up that first drink.

Good luck at your Christmas party. I hope your friend helps you stay sober.
Remember, you never have to go through this again if you just don't pick up that first drink.

Best to you.

I tortured myself over and over until I finally quit drinking for good. You never have to feel this badly again if you get sober for good.

Whats your recovery plan look like Jack?

Its good you have support but the fact you drank again suggests you're not using it effectively?

If you wanna share what you're doing to stay sober maybe we can suggest othe things you could add?
