Well its
In a funny way I feel better - knowing that I can't drink. I don't know why I felt the need to dip my toe in the shark infested water again but at least the alcohols gone now and I won't buy myself any and no one else will.
Hey AW how are you? Love the quote. I'm going to catch up ob your posts in a minute see how it's going for ya. You doing ok?
Kza, lets keep this positive, shall we? There's an abundance of negativity in the world, so I think those bases are covered
13, you can do this! If I had a dollar for each time I drank "at" my partner, I'd be rich! Still drunk, but rich. If you focus on being the best, sober, strongest you there's a good chance your so will notice and follow suit in some way. When I sobered up I thought my relationship was doomed. But it improved and we got closer almost despite ourselves. Give it time, see what happens.
Good thoughts headed your way

Folks who have been sober for a while will tell you that the way forward is to take any option of drinking away. Life will bring us situations, or we will manufacture them, that tell us any manner of lies to get us to drink again. Our subconscious knows no limit, and will use any event to excuse yet another appeal for 'just a couple'.
How can we succeed if our own brain is turning against us? Well, it is possible, and folks do it all the time. The brain part that wants the drink is resourceful and imaginative, but powerless. It has zero ability to direct our actions, our actions flow from our thinking rational mind, not our survival urges run amok.
Our way forward needs a plan which must be to never drink again, no matter what. Makes me think of Linus and Lucy, and the security blanket. Linus asks Lucy to never give him his blanket back, no matter what, and she agrees. In the next instant, Linus tells Lucy he has changed his mind, and wants it back, and Lucy folds like a cheap tent, to Linus' great dismay and disappointment.
Our way forward starts with a belief in ourselves, that we can succeed, and that we will succeed. Our way forward has the belief that for us, forward is the only way.

Sorry the title of the song is Several Species of Small Fury Animals Gathered Together in a Cave Grooving with a Pick by Pink Floyd on their Works Album. Its quit psychedelic and best played on a high end surround sound system. I was being clever and thought the title is pretty cool but if you listen to it repeatedly talks about coming back, which I thought was appropriate given what your going through.
