back in recovery

Well what can i say, It has been quite the battle for me two treatment centers... Few sets of steps and always yet another relapse. I finally got my stuff together near the middle of december, white knuckling it, used my DOC once on the 28th of dec, which was huge improvements from the prior 3 months. I let my denial over take me in the fact that i don't need meetings and that i do better without them. Also moving with my brother and his friend who are social drinkers that I can also drink like that. Hearing from countless other people how it will progress and ill either be an alcoholic or doing my drug again. I was juggling the balls again for a while working doing fairly good drinking a bit, then the last week i dropped them all getting hammerd constantly used 2 times, messed up my job. Which is all not to big of deal im not upset but i realize that Im definitley an Alcoholicc and thinking back when i had 3 months clean&sober was the most serenity I had. I miss it and im going to put in the effort daily to get back to a point where i want to be. Dusted off my AA and NA book tonight and read some, found this site a few days ago. Very Grateful for the people, glad to be back.

Welcome rypen. This is a great place to find support. If aa is your route, get a sponser and start on those steps.

Hang tough.

God bless.

Im not sure what my route is im very open to alot of things. I did like AA at one point hard for me to get to meetings tho, but i enjoy reading the book and personal stories on the back half. If anyone has any other suggestions as to things that worked for them please fill me in. At this point in time im simply trying to reconstruct my support group and be accountable and getting honest with people
