There's no "deserve" about coming here, there's no merit testing and no breathalyzers. Some of my most productive time on SR was reading the threads while #$@tfaced and bawling in frustration. If there's any time to stay-stay-stay on the forum it's after picking up. So don't go-o-o-o

Seems to me that you are right where you belong. Brush yourself up, get your self back on the horse and keep posting here. Don't quit till the miracle happens.
I hope your relative is doing ok but if for some reason things get worst, you will be more useful to them and to your family sober than drunk.
Hang in there, you can do it.

Great news about your relative. And I'm so glad you're still sober. You're doing great. Getting through that difficult shift at work sober has strengthened your sobriety.

Just had a call that he's not doing too well this morning. He can't move aand still hasn't eaten.

Prayers for you and your relative ZG.
Stay strong.

Speaking from experience, even though I didn't feel I was harming my two young kids when I was a drunk, now that I'm sober I can see the effects it had on them. I was very preoccupied (obsessed, really) with drinking, and even when I wasn't drinking I would be frustrated that I wasn't. I didn't spend quality time with them, I wasn't emotionally available, most of my free time was spent drinking. Who wants a drunk father? Now that I'm sober, it's amazing how much of a difference it makes. I built a snowman with my 5 year old daughter last night, when I would have been drinking on my chair watching a hockey game a few months ago. I can never go back to that lifestyle.

zombiegirl

I always play with my kids mine is a night thing. It's like boredom n then gets beyond boredom to let's drink it all

Do t be hard on yourself, you stopped after one that's terrific... I am not saying do it again but you showed control..

So well done for that,
