I knew deep down I was going to fall, it was just a matter of time. Well tomorrow starts a new day and pray I can go longer than the almost a month I just did. God bless you all. People don't realize how strong we all are to quit even for 30 days. Everyday without a drink is a better day.

Best to you tomorrow. What do you think made it hard to get through today sober?

Thanks for the reply. It was the deep depression of the holidays that finally caught up to me. I'm estranged from my son and it is also destroying me, not to mention being ostracized by my family. I bet you're sorry you asked now,

Tonight get yourself ready for tomorrow, drink plenty of water....set your resolve, know that the discomfort will pass....
I am sorry to hear about your son and family.....there are no answers to your heartbreak in alcohol....
You did a month and you can do it again... it will get easier....

I hope so, I'm angry at myself, but I also need to be happy with my doing almost a month.

I am in a similar boat family wise DC. I'm trying to find more ways to cope. I hope you can find some too.

Best wishes to you on your journey.

I too have a similar situation with my children; and I drank last night and today; I need to rebuild by life around sobriety; DC, you should be proud of making it 30 days; you have helped me realize that I need to listen to the wise people here and admit I can never ever drink alcohol again!

I'm sorry to hear that. But definitely not sorry I asked. We're here to listen and hopefully help each other figure out how to get through the tough stuff.

Give it another go, drinking only brings temporary relief
