Hi again
So after 2 months sober I decided to try drinking again. It has sometimes offered a but of escape but unfortunately the anxiety and guilt quietly grow. Ive been drinking again for about 6 weeks. Really drunk only one really but that's from my point of view. 2 bottles of wine se.ems kind of OK to me and I know that's rather a lot for some. I can often moderate and like last night had 2 glasses. BUT if I think back to when I was sober I think I was a much better human being. More connected, kinder, wiser....all those things. Anyway, I'm starting again, it is morning day 1. Hi everyone and all the best for whatever day you are on.
It's hard at first but the rewards of sobriety are worth the effort it takes to get there.

Morning Day 1. You describe the decline as it applies to myself when I decide to give it another shot. 
It's never worked for me, and I'm a kinder, wiser, less anxious type person when not drinking alcohol, at any level. Having the 2 always sets me up to think I've got it nailed, but I lie to myself each time.
Sitting on nearly 9 months Makeright and it is so much better. Wouldn't swap it for quids. I think you've made a very wise and kind decision for yourself and really hope you continue on this wise path.

Welcome.
Sobriety is a marathon, not a sprint for me.
I stopped more than five years ago for the last time, but have been sober most of the time for more than a decade.
We tend to forget what we have, including sobriety until we lose it.
I still think sometimes, why not one. But I know why.
You got this, and let us know how we can help.
