Here we go again
Here we go again
Back on the wagon after 6 months of fooling myself and attempting to drink socially. Nothing terrible happened during this period - fell down some stairs, had some binges with the usual side effects - just hate my self-image, hate being hungover, hate wasting money, and hate worrying about when I'll be able to get my next drink. Hope I can stick to it this time. I'm relying on a couple close friends for support. Just know that I'm tired of the 'cycle' and want to put an end to it, once and for all.

What is your PLAN to stay sober SM?
My failure to plan was always my planning to fail. I quit many times, but with my irritability and discontent, I couldn't STAY quit and be happy. After a period of time (6mo-4yrs), I inevitably returned to drinking, and shortly thereafter, hell.

I've been on that rollercoaster before too SM. Know that you can do it, and it will definitely be worth it. Don't hope - take action and actuallly form a plan to make sure this time you stay on the wagon. That's great that you have close friends for support - have you considered a formal program like AA/AVRT or counseling/outpatient detox?

not laughing, but this is what alcohol does to our perception:
Nothing terrible?
Life can get a lot better than that
