Yeah, time to focus on what's important. I deleted the messages from facebook. The last thing I need to do is bring extra drama into my life. If people want to slander me there it really doesn't matter. Time to move on from all that.
Thankful for this community

Your sentence I copied above I disagree 100% with though - drinking is not inevitable or "bound" to happen - it's a choice you make. It is inevitable that you will most likely have cravings and temptations, but how you deal with them is a free choice you can make. Stick around here and use SR to learn how - and perhaps consider seeking some local support too, it can't hurt right?
Glad you are back.

Use the strength you found during your last string of days sober. Focus on that and not picking up the first drink.
Best of luck! You can do this.
Do your best

I'm sorry you are in pain polar blue. I removed myself from Facebook when I got sober and it was the one of the best things I ever did. I have recently restarted to try and reconnect with peoe but in all honesty it seems full of people that show off and attention seek. I hope you feel better soon
