I like what twenty-five says here! You have 89 days of sobriety, and that is a major accomplishment. You can do it!

I know the feeling. Alcoholism just waits until you are comfortable to strike. I remember being sober for along time and I was all proud of my accomplishments. Then out of the middle of no where a girl gave me a shot at a work event that we all celebrates. People were telling me how I need to have fun. So I took a shot one thing led to the next and that was the end of my career, my family, and my life. I went to the ER a bunch. Spent many years not showering or getting a job. It started by a shot. I had to really need go to AA every day and make sobriety my life. Little by little I got my job back and my clothes washed and I shaved. It took day in and day out work.

Alynn - It sounds like you learned something valuable. I had to have it happen a few times until I finally got it. I also didn't give it much thought the times I caved. Then I learned to come here and talk things over before I was going to be faced with temptation. You will do this!
