I get it - I do.
Do not give up on yourself- I am on day 20. Did you have 101 Sober days
put the horse back in the barn. you will feel so much better once you clear up.
I did a lot of damage on my last bender. Please do not make the same mistake as me. Take care of yourself , rest , hydrate and great job for posting. You really want this or you would not post. You are worth it. Do not settle for less being drunk. You deserve so much more out of life. I do too!

I'm sorry Al.
Many of us have found that willpower alone is not enough to keep us sober.
The important thing to do now is not abandon hope and simply drink until you get back to the UK, Al.
You can make this a momentary blip, not a crash and burn situation.
make a plan - think about support and think about the situations you're putting yourself in.

Been there, done that.
Probably you are having a rough time at the moment, but have plenty of rest, drink plenty of water. You will feel better in no time.
Move on and start over. There is a saying in Spanish which basically translates
"Whoever is still fighting is not dead".
Stay strong!

Please check in. I am praying for you. I just read some of your posts. I realize you are on holiday and are surrounded by triggers. Great job posting here and being honest. That is the first step. I commend you for that.

It's okay to ask for help, which many of us has had
to do in learning how to kick this addiction disease
and put it to rest for good.
Many of us had to learn exactly what addiction
is and what it does to affect our minds and bodies.
Then had to be taught new healthy affective ways
to remain sober each day moving forward.
No one ever has to go at this alone or by ourselves.
We dont have to figure it out alone because there
are good support systems available, like SR.
This support system is a lifeline to hold onto
each day while learning way to remain sober.
By using helpful suggestions guiding you each
step of the way.
If you dont understand something, always ask.
You'd be pleasantly surprised at how many have
been there, dont the same similar things as you
and now, with amazing support, a lesson is learned
to avoid returning to that problem again.
I myself began my recovery journey 29 yrs ago
when family placed me into the hands of those
capable of teaching me how to remain sober
one day at a time.
I took a hold of this lifeline and have never let
go, doing whatever is necessary to remain sober
no matter what life throws at me.
Today, im still on this journey forever remaining
teachable learning for others how to improve and
strengthen my own recovery foundation in life
to enjoy many of lifes rewarding gifts and blessings.
We are here for you and, like so many reminded
me early on.....I, we, you, us, never have to drink
again when we incorporate some sort of effective
program of recovery in our everyday life to achieve
a healthy, happy, sober, honest way of life.

Well, that is a shame.
Had I said "F it all" at my lowest I would not have the following:
A child
A home
A career
Self-respect
Joy
Respect of self and others
Friends
Fiance
An understanding of will
A relationship with GOD.
There are so many more things I could add to the list.
Sobriety is hard work, it truly takes discipline and a strong mind.
Weakness is a relapse.
Flip it and prove to yourself how strng and determined you are.
You made it 100 days, you made it through the thick of it.
Dust yourself off, pick yourself back up and keep going as though you didn't skip a beat.
Have a blessed day,

Good that you wanted to let us know, Al. I don't believe you'll continue with the F it all attitude. You'll realize it was a waste of your precious time & will want to reclaim your sobriety. We're here to help. It's going to be ok.

Yes the F it decision is an extremely crucial point...so dangerous...and we are usually isolated when it occurs. So important is it to me that I spent a therapy session about it....what's happening is I usually am overwhelmed, and it can be by anything...the decision can lead to tragic situations not just drunkenness.
Been there dozens of times...chin up...put on a clean shirt and please come back.

I did the same thing the first time I reached 90 days, that was January of 2013. I spent the next three years alternating between failed attempts at moderation, and brief periods of sobriety.
You came here and posted, don’t waste your time experimenting ting further like I did, I can tell you 100% that its not worth it. You can do this.

Well, look after yourself.
Resort to self care.
The inner tyrant can cause a cycle of "crime and punishment" to perpetuate. Guilt will always look for punishment.
Sometimes one must find the nurturing parent voice to give and encourage whats needed rather than what's wanted; and say goodbye to the tyrannical parent voice.
