time to pick yourself up and stat again copa,
I'm curious as to what led to this. Did you know it was coming? Any pointers for me so I don't fall down? I have only 4 months and feel good about not drinking. I just don't want to get too cocky about it. Any advice is appreciated.

Hey Copano. I'm glad you posted about what happened. 
I sure do remember those days. That's why I had to give up the idea that I could ever be a social drinker. There simply was no such thing as 'a few' for me. Always the whole bottle, then more the next day so I wouldn't shake. It's so good to be free of it. You can stop and never go back to that miserable place.

From a chronic relapser, I know where you're coming from.
I relapsed a lot when I first tried to quit drinking.
What helps me now, is remembering those days after and how I felt.
I come here and read a lot, that helps me a great deal.
Don't be too hard on yourself. You can start anew today.
Best to you.

I'm in my second real attempt at sobriety after a way too long relapse. I fooled myself into thinking that maybe I didn't have a problem after all. I had to accept that I can never be a normal drinker and let that part of me go. It took a lot of soul searching and sleepless nights until I finally had that acceptance, but once I got there, I was able to move forward again.
I'm glad you came back so soon; I should have and probably would have been able to get back on track much sooner. I've come to look at sobriety as a gift and this time I am going to do everything in my power to make it last. Best wishes to you.
