Thanks!
I know what happened. I got cocky. Had a great day yesterday. Went for Greek food for lunch (I'm a chicken shawarma addict) and then went to Barnes and Noble. They didn't have the book I wanted but they ordered it for me.
My daughter works Saturday nights until 10. So I was alone and bored. Convinced myself I deserved a reward for all my hard work. Dumb, I know.
Not sure what my plan moving forward is other than continue seeing my doc. He is awesome and understand but also firm with me.
Today will be spent mostly in bed relaxing and drinking water. I did all my chores last night while drunk. It's crazy how much energy I have while drinking.

We drink or drank for all sorts of reasons. Good,
bad and inbetween. I use to love the night life
back in the day, but time in recovery allowed
me to see that the night life for me was dangerous.
Drinking and drive is a definitely no no. Today,
all I have to do is go back and play those drinking
tapes to remind myself that I surely don't want
to go back there and that when I lay down at night,
how safe, secured and blessed for my sobriety
and conforts in my cozy bed I am.
Once I learned about my addiction and ways
to not drink each day following many useful
suggestions of a recovery program, I was able
to not pick up a drink of poison in the past 23
yrs. That's a many one days at a time, one foot
in front of the other at a time to get me where
I am today.
Half of my life is over in age wise, but I do
have 23 yrs of that sober. The remaining
yrs. of my life, I will continue my sobriety
and enjoy all that life offers to me.
Im glad that you want to continue learning
about addiction and replace it with lots of
useful tools in recovery to help you not pick
up a drink once again.
