I'm back

Well, I am back. I can't quit drinking on my own, I have failed myself and those I care about dearly. I will be going to an AA meeting tonight, though. Finally giving it an honest shot. I am just trying to kill some time right now I guess, and writing this helps me concentrate a little. Very scatter-brained after my 2 bottle, 3 day bender.

Glad you are back, Blaizze. Sometimes we need that extra push to see the light. I failed a few times, but the last time I got it right. We know you can do this! Let us know how the meeting was.

Hope the meeting helps. I never thought I needed AA until I started going, on y doctors recommendation. I thought well I'll go to tell my dr. I went. Wow. I go almost every day and if I miss a day I don't feel as good inside. Although I ain't all fired up to go, I did approach it with an open mind. I decided to give myself over to them, basically, since I was never able to maintain sobriety for very long on my own. I realized that I actually have to do some serious WORK to stay sober. The HP, the sponsor, the BB, all of it. I used to think "one day at a time" was kinda dumb, but now I live and breathe it. I'm not religious, btw, and I'm not particularly social, either. But AA is working for me and I hope it works for you, too. Let us know how it goes.
I should add I'm new to recovery.
