Day one...Again
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I got sober 10 years ago with the help of AA. I stayed there 5 years then maintained it another 1 1/2 years on my own. I've been stumbling back and forth for the past 3 1/2 years and have been back to daily drin king..UGH...need to stop

Hi loops.
I've been where you are a few times now. Get up and develop a plan of action. And start doing it. Everyday.
SR is here to help if you use it.
Wishing you well. In the end it is up to US to stop and remain stopped.

Hi all..and thank you again for your wishes. I KNOW that I have to stop. I feel physically awful (and look pretty crappy too). I am a teacher and mom of 3 teenagers. My husband runs a business which is struggling bc of the economy. I have been putting him thru hell. Besides financial stress, he worries what he will find me like. I "think" i'm hiding it but i'm not!
Last night was awful....I decided to drink after work then show up at my son's HS basketball game..DISASTER..My daughter and husband knew right away. He wouldn't sit with me and she was completely embarrassed. He dragged me out of the gym as soon as it was over and drove my car home. What made it worse...my son had his best game ever, scoring 23 points. The team carried him on their shoulders at the end and everyone cheered for him. I was too drunk to really follow the game and not their to celebrate...nor was my husband. I'm crying while I write this. My son doesn't know why we left. Was i serious in thinking I could get away with hit?nHow willI ever face those parents again?
I am looking into counseling and plan on sticking with you guys. My AA experience, though it worked, was not very positive...

I actually find myself thinking "was my life really better when i was sober?" of course it was and I need to remember that. I can talk myself into drinking for any reason...my kids talk back, my husbands cranky, i hate my boss WAH WAH WAH. I have so much to be grateful for AND my husband and daughter actually are forgiving me today. They keep saying "Just get better bc we love you" I have to keep reminding myself of that.
I just feel so bad about acting like a jerk..I have to just remember one day at a time
