Well guys, I got drunk last night. I am away from home and the first thing I did when I got to my hotel was order a vodka and orange. Why???? Because I am a stupid alcoholic who thought I would be Ok. I don't want to be that person again. I am so upset with myself. Sitting here on lunch not understanding what happened.

You lasted 2 weeks and can do it again. Well done for being honest with yourself and not making excuses.

You had a set back, dust yourself off and get back on the horse.

You need coping mechanisms to not take that first drink. Not sure what support system you have, but perhaps next time you can post here before you take the drink?

Learn from it and, move forward. The main thing is to just keep trying.

Use your experience and plan accordingly. Truly accepting that the voice that said it would be different is a selfish liar (AV) and not YOUR TRUTH will go a looong way. My experience anyway (and many others).

Another way to look at it is alcohol is powerful, cunning, baffling and insidious. If we are an alcoholic we are one for life and need to work on long term sobriety that keeps us sober one day at a time in a row.

Unfortunately too many feel better for awhile and wander, doing our lifes things and forget what will drag us back down the slippery path of misery.

BE WELL
