A lot of us can identify with your embarrassment Sarah.
My life is a heck of a lot less embarrassing now I'm sober and staying that way

Do you have a recovery plan?

sarahdub

Il do that cristina thanks.
No dee this time last year id a big plan but the pressure was too much. Think im going to take iy day by day and keep coming on here

I wasn't thinking of a Big Plan AVRT style. I have no experience with those.

To me a plan should be about support, not pressure. It's your plan built to your needs

Going day by day with a vague notion of not drinking may not prepare you for what might be ahead, y'know?.

This is good place to start:

Hi Sarah. I second what everyone else has so generously written, and believe me, I've been there. I once ruined a very expensive pair of shoes, because walking home post-closing time, I couldn't keep it in, stopped by a tree on a smart street and 'discreetly' peed all over them. They were never the same.

But I was, and for years afterward I did some very stupid, embarrassing, even dangerous stuff indeed.

But lately I don't do such stuff, because I don't drink (23 days and counting).

And you won't either when you stop drinking. What's more, people here are right in saying that when you recover, the people who care about you won't hold your mistakes against you. They may even forget them altogether because those memories will be replaced by the day-to-day reality of you.

Those that bank your f*@k-ups are jerks and one day, trust me, you will forget them.

Nice to meet you Sarah meetings will help esp when bolstered with a plan
