Seared

I can't bring myself to pour out the bottles.

It's a tough thing to do, for sure - but I think it's a great way to make a statement - even if it's only a statement to yourself, y'know?

In my experience of relapsing and eventually recovering successfully, if you are constantly using the "grin and bear it" strategy of recovery you will eventually relapse. Many AAers would likely call this white knuckling, but I think that's a pretty loaded term.

But I think it does indicate that you may want to look at your recovery strategy and re-evaluate it. I do believe if you find that you don't have a strategy then you are going to have a really hard time trying to stay sober.

Time to get up and try again! We all have many second chances, so no need to despair, just give it another shot.
