Well, quitting for today would be a good start. And having a plan so you don't relapse again would be even better. Most of us have relapsed many times so it's not your last chance to quit by any means. Do you have access to local support groups at all and have you been using them?

The only thing you can. Stop drinking today. Yesterday is already the past. It sucks that you relapsed but learn from it and quit again today. There may be consequences but you are alive and can make your own choices today.
Sobriety can bring many rewards, no guarantees but many possibilities.

I just started a thread that this is a good weekend to quit. One thing you can do is to do something instead of using--go to a meeting, have some herbal tea, do something different...

Jalier...
What do you REALLY want to do about this?
If you want to just keep repeating this self-destructive cycle, that is your choice. You are welcome to keep doing it to yourself, and posting your results. It helps me realize I do NOT want to keep repeating the same destructive behavior.
IF...you REALLY do want to get completely free from your addiction...there is a way...actually a few different ways, so I KNOW there is a way for you to get completely FREE.
What's it going to be???
I will be happy to continue...if you really want to....otherwise I will just keep taking the advice you're giving

You're in a bad way, no doubt. But there is always hope. I'll let the more experienced members give you advice; your situation is out of my league. However, I do firmly believe you can get through this. Many others here have done it; why not you too?

If you've been in treatment and have experience with AA, then you know some things you should do.
If your real question is "how do I make the consequences of my drinking go away, without giving up alcohol?" then that's a different question altogether. You need to be honest with yourself.
I would suggest getting to an AA meeting and sharing. You will find help there if you are ready.

Bad as this situation may be, it may be just the kick in the butt you need to get sober for good. Find the good in it and use it to your advantage. You can stop today and start on the road to getting better or you can just stew in your own juices until it's even worse. It's your choice.

I've been in similar situations before Jailer - it sucks, but you need to put the self pity to one side and really get proactive here.
I think that what you need now is action Jailer - anything but more drinking is the way to go.
I know it's hard, and the last thing you fell like doing, but it could well be the difference between this being the first day of your recovery or another month, 6 months, or year of the same old same old.
You can do this
let us know how you're doing
