Relapse - I should've known better
Hi all,
I'm posting on SR for the first time in while because I recently relapsed.
I recently left my wife and young son overseas and I got so upset from being such a distance from them somehow I thought it would be wise to pick up a bottle.
I have spent the last 2 weeks drinking heavily every day to the point of passing out every night. Cue feeling ill every morning, struggling through work every day, barely eating (and unhealthily when I did) and having symptoms of poor health.
I reduced my consumption to the point where I feel I can begin the process of recovery again (I'm on day 1 in hour 15) and I'm starting working on a healthy life style again so that in 3 weeks my wife can have the support of a sober husband and my son can have a sober dad when we're reunited again.
Sobriety is a such a precious thing and all the joy it brings is such a better way to live than the living hell the last 2 weeks of my life have been with alcohol. I feel so stupid for picking up the bottle again, I need in the back of my head that it would lead to this and I know how painful and the process of detox can be.
