Ugh. I drank
I'm not hiding this time. Usually I'm too ashamed to tell on myself. It wasn't much. A couple of beers. I'm starting again tomorrow
I'm sorry. Please don't give up on me. Love you guys.

Don’t give up on yourself. I did the same last Friday, and although just a couple I noticed my behaviour change, my thoughts started to get darker, and I felt terrible the next day. I’ve started again, and told my friends and my partner I cannot go to the pub until I’m much stronger. Learn what triggered it, and put in place strategies to manage the cravings and temptations for next time. You can do it. Don’t give up!!

Press,
I can relate. I crave almost every day. I don't attend meetings, I just know from experience when the crave is happening and that it always goes away pretty quick.
Afterwards, I am back to feeling glad i don't drink.
I suffer through when it is bad.
There is a nasty flu bug going around. I can feel my body fighting it. My immune system is,like a furnace these days.
Drinking will ruin that. Same thing with sleeping. My non drinking friends say they routinely sleep 7 plus hours straight a night. I am up to 4 to 5.
I can't wait to get where they are.
Goals are important to me to help maintain my non drinking ways.
Thanks.

Yep.
If someone has been sober as long as me and doesn't crave a bit, good for them.
Just being honest.
Thanks.

Most importantly, don't give up on yourself Pressme. You are the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to staying sober.
Rather than asking for forgiveness, ask yourself what you did ( or didn't ) do that led up to your drinking. And then change your routine/plan so that doesn't happen again. Were you actively working on your sobriety?

Press - I had a couple of false starts, but I finally got free. You will too. There's nothing in it for us anymore - no fun, relaxation, escape from reality. We pay too high a price for a momentary bit of numbness. You can do it!
