Working on 24 hours

Hi all,

I am back to recovery and new to this group. I had been sober about 6 years ago for just over one year and it was the best, healthiest, most balanced time of my life so far. I was then encouraged to drink again by my non-alcoholic boyfriend at the time and stupidly I finally gave in and the madness started again. Not all at once. And so I believed I had beat the demons and that booze wasn't a problem for me any longer. Madness.

Anyhow I've been drinking again for about 5 years and it continues to get worse and worse. I'll manage a few days or weeks and then inevitably I'll have a craving and back I go. I'm drinking alone, in secret, and large amounts. No one knows the severity but me and I'm scared. I feel out of control and I don't really know what to do.

I'm hoping to find some support and maybe learn from you all what's working for you. Thanks for reading.

Welcome, Newt!

Make this the end of the madness in your life. Read around and post often--it works if you work it!
