recovery

I last drank alcohol on october 18th. I've joined an alcohol recovery unit, and that has helped. Thing is, I know I will be in recovery for the rest of my life. In fact, I hope I am, because I never want to go back to the misery and desolation of drinking. I can never be a moderate drinker, as one glass will lead to however many days I can afford after that. I've kidded myself in the past, reasoning that it's a way to relax, or take my mind off my worries, when the reality is I just drink until I'm unconscious, and when I wake up, the first thing I need is a drink. I'm trying to learn the skills and strategies I need to stay off it. As for now, it's mainly fear of the consequences of drinking. But I'll do whatever it takes.

Congratulations on your two months and that's great you've gone and got help.

I'm much earlier in sobriety than you but the consequences of drinking are keeping me sober for now too. I feel like whatever works to keep me sober is enough right now and we've got plenty of time to build new lives :-)

Every morning I looked at the bottle from the night before to see just how much I had been drinking (t.i. if there was any left) and I felt so bad. Then came late afternoon and I finished this bottle and opened a next one.
I just couldn't care after 7PM.
I'm looking forward to a new sober life with evenings not blurred.
