Fell Off Wagon

Hi Guys and Gals, I need to come clean. I fell off the wagon just before thanksgiving after 62 days. I miss how I felt and today is day 1. Again.

I am not beating myself up over this, but I need to get a sponsor and go back to AA. Even as I am writing this I have my doubts.

Great for you. It takes real guts to come out like that and hold yourself accountable and I know how hard that is. Its so easy to lie or overlook what we have done. Best of luck and try to stay safe. John

About prolonged sobriety. I know I need to not worry about long term success and focus on the moment.

That's right. You can only be sober today. One day at a time. Keep doing that, and you'll have prolonged sobriety. Sort of takes care of itself.

Myself, I accepted that I could never drink again. Ever. Once I accepted never drinking again, any doubts I had regarding the longevity of my recovery went away.
