Back to being confused and lonely on this roller-coaster ride
I told you all a while ago that I was going back at it again. Nothing has gotten too bad...but my school work is suffering, and I am ignoring little things I should be doing at home.
Some family stuff came up, and I have to go to Colorado to see a family member who found out she had terminal cancer (at a very young age). Drinking is eating me alive again. I knew I couldn't do it in moderation...now I have to try getting back on the wagon again...It's so hard. I love it (yet hate it) so much... For some stupid reason I am making excuses for not quitting again, and need your help.
Thanks all of you for listening to this roller-coaster ride.
Lost, confused, and lonely...

Dear Kaite,
I hear you. Honestly, It's been a month for me and it's starting to get tough again. I haven't tried AA, have you?
I know that having a person to talk to face to face or at least on the phone would sure help sometimes. I'm going to be really impressed with myself if I can pull it off through the holidays. The only time I've ever done that is when I was pregnant. Well, this is about you, not me.
What are the things you like about it?
What are the things you hate about it?
Let's chat. Maybe we can support each other.
Lots of hugs and courage go with you on your trip to Colorado!
luv,
Maureen

Hey ****, I'm glad you aren't afraid to post here. We've all been on the roller coaster, so don't ever feel bad about sharing your ride.
I'm sad to hear about the difficult situation you're facing right now. I know you know that drinking won't do anything positive to help things. Set yourself another short term goal and then revisit your feelings. I would suggest that you keep a journal so that you don't forget how you feel when you are drinking. The worst part of this problem is the forgetfulness.
Keep posting.
