making progress

haven't been on much recently but wanted to check in and say hello. Day 74 after a relapse. I was a binge drinker. The binges started becoming more often and the withdrawls got worse. I wanted to be a social drinker but once I got that relaxed feeling I wanted more. I couldn't handle the shame and regret anymore so Sept 1st 2014 I said enoough. I've slipped up a few times since then.

Today I feel like even with the couple of relapses (thinking I could drink socially again- ya right) I've made alot of progress.

If you are new please don't give up!!! Reach out for help, go to meetings, work with a sponsor. It's worth it.

At this point in my thinking I start feeling "left out" like I'm missing out on something. This time around I am working on reminding myslef that alcohol is a liar and society is being fooled by it. Not missing out on a dang thing!!!!

Thats all I got. Prayers for those that are struggling and hugs for everyone today!

Great job Alynn. 74 days is fantastic. Sounds like you've learned a lot from you past and that's one of the keys to this battle.

Well done.
