Day 1 again
 

Yep, back at it. I'm just full of so much shame and remorse. Picked up my big book and have been doing some reading. I feel like this is my secret. Recently divorced, loss of my grandma. Trying to adjust to life and drinking wine at night isn't helping me at all. I just can't do it anymore. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Here's to recovery, and serenity.
I'll stay close to you all. I need your support. I can't do it on my own. I can't. And I'm full of fear for returning to meetings.

It's going to be ok, ontherightpath. You sound ready this time - and we have to be ready.

It's understandable to feel remorseful, and it's ok if it helps you be determined to quit - but try not to let shame hold you down. You can rise above the negative feelings and reach out for a wonderful new life. I was dependent on alcohol to help me cope, but as you said - it doesn't do a thing for us. Rather than calming us down, it actually creates more anxiety. We're with you as you get through your Day 1.

Don't be afraid to go back to meetings if they helped you. I don't think AA shoots its wounded. Welcome back.

Welcome back, ontherightpath. I suspect that AA will welcome you back, too.

don't forget that SR is here for you 24/7/365; reach out if you feel triggered or fragile.

Welcome bk Ontherightpath

Welcome back

Thanks for the welcomes.
I'm trying not to be sad.
Acceptance.

Been in your situation many times. Only another alcoholic can really understand the misery of coming off a binge. You know you need a few days of rest while you detox. Try to clear your calendar as much as possible and take it easy.

I'm sorry for your losses and struggle but I'm glad you're back ontherightpath :)

D

I hope this can be your last day one. :hug:

Welcome back ontherightpath!! You can do this!! :)
