I need to get back to that place of being happy and content with life and without needing the bottle to make my world numb. I realized how much I enjoyed feeling (even the bad stuff) because I could feel and actively work to make that better instead of drowning my fears, stress, anxiety, and inhibitions in a bottle of alcohol.

I am absolutely disappointed in my decision on Friday night, and wonder what it would have been like to have not done that. I am sure I would have continued with my normal (and sober) life and not given one thought was to what it would have been like to drink the night before. In a sober mindset, and one which is not influenced by addictions) it never would have crossed my mind to drink. Never; because I was happy sober and content. I was starting to work out more and get a natural high. I was starting to eat better and my body was thanking me. I want and need to get back to that state of getting better.

Saturday was bad- bad- bad. Sunday was better, but still aches and pains and extremely tired. I didnt sleep well last night, so I am pretty damn tired today. I want back- I want to time travel back into my streak of 8 weeks and not have to deal with overcoming my bad decisions on Friday night.

Can i bounced back quickly from a one night binge?
