Went out again
Hey guys,
Well i went out again and it wasn't working. Tried to moderate and things just spiraled out of control. Feeling really jittery at work right now and just wanna go home and go to bed. I really need to get a sponsor and go to a meeting.

Ugh...it does feel awful to feel that way when you have responsibilities doesn't it? The good thing about this situation, however, is that you can make the choice to not feel this way again. It has been REALLY nice for me to be able to take the work day responsibilities head on and not have to worry about not being on my game. That whole hungover thing is so stressful. Get rid of the stress in your life

Hi Garrison.
Sometimes we need further proof that moderating doesn't work for us. I had all the best intentions in the world - and they flew out the window once alcohol got in my system. You learned something - you're back to try again. You can do this.

You know it's starting to get bad when you wake up and reach for a bottle. I've pretty much abstained from liquor but the beer still does the trick. Said some things to someone on facebook that i would've never said had i been sober. Really feeling bad about that. I just want this to go away.

Nature of the beast. It crooked its sexy, conniving finger and got you back in its clutches. Happened to all of us ..time..and time again.
I figured I could moderate too...again.
And I'm back here...again.
Welcome back.

yeah.... boy, been there.
Go easy on yourself and let this simply be a tangible, powerful affirmation of your CHOICE for sobriety.
The awfulness will subside. Don't focus on looking back at the mistake, don't focus on the crummy feelings, focus on the gratitude.
GRATITUDE???
