Back to square one.
Thanks for the replies to my post last night. Woke up not feeling great but resisted the urge to start again first thing this morning. Drank entirely too much last night and m tolerance isn't what it used to be. Having trouble posting keep getting a blank screen. Not gonna drink tonight

Don't beat yourself up
I learned this in treatment. My body was so dependent on alcohol that I needed it to function. Without it I couldn't think right and I felt out of sorts, even depressed. To keep me from falling into it again, they put me on Antabuse and I had to go to outpatient therapy for a long time. It took a good six months to finally feel better. Sleeping was hard. I remember laying in bed thinking, "I'm safe and warm", like a mantra. Eventually things got easier.
Stick with sobriety Dave and life will get better. Keep coming to SR. Maybe seek a treatment program or go to AA meetings. Those things helped me and I learned to love myself again. Keeping in touch with supportive people is extremely important. It keeps your head in the right place.

Well done Dave - you came staight back and posted rather than carry on drinking so it's just a blip when you take the long view
Maybe what Donna57 said about Antabuse (amongst other insights) might be useful.
I'd never heard of it until I joined SR so I've no experience but if it helps well why not try it - subject medical advice obviously
