Have a shower..nothing else, just one thing. Get the mail- worry about other hassles later. Rest, eat , hydrate. One small step at a time...not everything always at once.

If I cant handle a good day gone wrong, in such a minor way, how the hell am I gonna deal with bigger issues coming my way? Because, they will.
So bac to square one. I guess. My hubs says Im a fckin broken record. I figure he is about right.
Just needed to get that out there. I really have nobody else who understands me. And my mental issues. Thanks all for being there.
Counting on tomorrow being a better day! Im so vulnerable to ****. This has to Stop! Thanks all.

As for your husband, I'm sorry he said that too you. Maybe don't announce your efforts anymore to him? Or explain to him that you are doing your absolute best to get sober and tell him that the added comments really do not help you. I do remember that feeling- Like I was "crying wolf" every time I said I didn't want to drink again. But really I was the one judging the hell out of myself.
Go easy on you- you came back here which means you obviously want this. And if you want it badly enough, you WILL get it..

You're as worthy as anyone else to be here Stubbs 
There's no one here who's never made a mistake as far as I know.
For me my recovery success started when I had an action plan - especially an action plan for the times I was tempted to drink.
