Tempe,
One of the things I did when I first joined here, was print out my first post. I had copies in my wallet, every room in my house, my car and my office. It reminded me of why I could never even try to have that "just one "ever again. I kept them up for a year and still have a copy in my wallet.
You can do this!
Stay strong

I'm paralyzed right now. Not physically, but mentally and emotionally. I can't move from this bed. I can't stop berating myself. My very own pity party, but I can't stop.
I am going to print this out and keep it with me. I never want to feel this way again.

We are unable, at certain times, to bring into our consciousness with sufficient force the memory of the suffering and humiliation of even a week or a month ago.
I don't know what you've been doing, recovery-wise, to get and stay sober, the program you are using. If you are using one, engage it with more vigor and effort.
And if you aren't using a program....you might start there with finding one.

Tempe, you helped me so much in my first few months of sobriety by cheering me on and reminding me why I wanted to be and stay sober. Thank you so much for that.
I want sobriety for you. You seem like such a lovely, beautiful, elegant person and sobriety fits with that so well. I am so much happier and at peace in sobriety. Even in my worst days sober, I never feel as bad as I felt on my bad days when drinking. Ask God for the miracle of change in your thinking about alcohol and he will give it to you. Really pray for the gift of surrender.
Love to you, beautiful lady.
