How many times!!

After 22 days I started drinking again thinking "no problem". Well guess what. PROBLEM!! Back to old habits in just a few days. Silly me used the holidays as an excuse. I'm disappointed with myself. Tomorrow will be day 1 again. Have to realize time will not make this issue go away!

Another interesting point. The moment I had a drink I never came back to SR. Deep down I knew I couldn't keep control. More contact this time.

On to tomorrow and better days because I have disappointed more than myself tonight.

That's impressive LLG6.. what happens at 9 months, and what are you planning to do differently this time? Just curious.

I am on day 93 here and after several failed attempts, I have realised that the thing that is different this time is ME! Plain and simple. I would have always failed if I hadn't sorted me out first. It's not other people or situations that made me drink, or AVs, it was me all along. Once you get you sorted and only want to do this for you, it will be better, not easier, but better.

Welcome back, glad you posted, lotsofcoffee.

Someone said here the other day, stay in the middle of this pack, don't go near the edge or you' ll get picked off by alcohol.

Stay close, coffee.
