Day zero
I am back. I got cocky last time after 6 months of sobriety and here I am again at rock bottom. I can't live my life as a drunk. Tomorrow will be day one. One day at a time. Thanks

I got wasted last night and stayed up very late. Blew off my twin nieces bday party because I knew that my wife would leave before me with my kids and then started drinking again as soon as she left Got too wasted to go to party and help my brother in law. I put getting high before everyone else in my life. I am back to drinking a quart or a fifth of jack every other night. Often driving wasted. Rock bottom

Like driving drunk and killing someone like a child.

Welcome back redhead, I'm sorry for the circumstances that brought you back but this is a huge support system.
Have you thought about what you are going to do different this time so that you don't end up back here again?
My doctor tells me as long as a person continues trying then there is hope, so keep pushing forward NO MATTER WHAT!

Welcome back red. I went back out after eight months and I lost everything. My job, savings, self-respect, etc. BUT I'm nine months sober now. I just got back from a gorgeous midnight bike ride and tomorrow I'll get an early breakfast with friends. 9 and a half months ago I was drinking 2-3 bottles of wine a day and ruining all of my responsibilities. If I can get back here, you can too.

Glad you are back, confidence in my case without playing the tape through and being mindful has led to a few scary relapses in the past, I had to shake it off, tweak my plan and put additional tools in place to ensure I stay on this side of the grass.
Thoughts are with you

Day two started an hour ago. Very long sleep last night. Feeling a little dry this morning. Most worried about the weeknights. and getting home after a bad (or good 'lets party) day at work. I could grab a bottle of jack and show up at home for my wife and kids and be the funnest dad/husband ever. What a jack ass! One day at a time. Play the tape forward. Have a great day everyone.

Day 3.
Ok. I am still shaking off the cobwebs from my 48 hour bender so i do feel like it has been hard to not drink at this stage. It was such a heavy weekend. Feels good to be here on Day 3 though. I do want to make this my best day of sobriety ever. Great attitude and a great workout are in the cards.
