Well, after I found myself lying, knocked out, at 4 a.m. in the bath-room at an empty office...

I'm trying to quit from some months now. And unlike last years, most days i don't drink at all, but every week there's that damned relapse...

That evening I was heading towards a long and boring night because I had a deadline, and because I had something to celebrate I had succeeded in convincing my self that a glass of wine wouldn't hurt.

The glass of course turned out to be more than one bottle and a half, and because my tolerance is far less than it used to be - I'm not 'training' enough anymore - somewhere down the road I lost track and when I woke up...

Well, it was 4 a.m. on a monday night, I had an important meeting with my boss at 10. a.m.


That thuesday couldn't be finished, fast enough...

I relapsed a few times after, but within a couple of hours, I can celebrate my 17th day sober. Up till now, except for one attempt that lasted 3 weeks, a record...

Wow, thank you for sharing. I can only imagine what that experience was like for you.
