backbeat

Back to square 1. I put together 8 days and then was invited to see a folk performer in the city and went... and drank. It wasn't worth it, and I knew that I was going to get back on the wagon after this slip, so I not only went out drinking which began around 7pm but pushed myself to stay awake until 7am so I could keep drinking. Ridiculous. I simply can't pick up a drink without an extreme binge unfolding. So I slept all day, woke up at 5pm realizing I cheated myself out of a beautiful weekend day and thoroughly disgusted with myself.

Just wanted to come clean. Thanks. Going to a meeting tomorrow.

I am closing my eyes and taking the plunge. I hope they let me keep my phone. Visiting Alabama means a ton to me but my health means more.

Never stop trying. Never give up. I tried and failed too many times but I finally got it right. Welcome back!

Sending you strength Backbeat. I'm a severe binge drinker too - just joined yesterday. I had my wasted day on Friday - slept all day - missed work. Blah. Here's to some new beginnings

Thanks for all the kind words and support. I really appreciate it. Yesterday was horrible. God how I hate that feeling. Today was great; sober, constructive, positive, happy, healthy. Thanks again.
