Day 1, again....
I'm new here, but not to recovery. I drank last night, after a decent stretch of sobriety... Decent for me, anyway. I hated how I was feeling inside, so I drank. And because I did, I feel so much worse inside today. I know I can't keep doing this. I'm really struggling to let go. Alcohol has been the one I turn to with all things, happy or sad. So here I am. Again. I really need this to be the time I don't screw it all up. I need to stay sober. I can't keep doing this.

Welcome to SR!
BING!
Been there, done that! (A few hundred times.)
Print that quote off and refer back to it next time you feel bad and drinking seems like a good idea again.

Hey Yinyan,
welcome to SR .
Drinking getting sober and relapsing is the pits . Stopping the drinking was one part of my recovery , learning how to deal with life sober was the second and still is the more difficult part .
For me i had to do both to be successful . Glad to have you along ,

Thanks guys! I'm really happy I found this place! I try really hard to do the whole pick up, dust off, keep moving thing... It's nice to know I've got a place to go for some support. Gives a little more hope

Hi Yinyan621
I hated the way I felt inside too - but eventually got it through my thick head that drinking doesn't help - if anything it contributes to those feelings.
Give sobriety a go - have faith that things will change - I know it's hard, but there's tons of support and ideas here
you can do this
