Kicking Myself
Hello to All
Have tried to post here several times in the past few days, gonna try keeping it short, maybe I'll make it this time.
I recently am four days sober after a four day binge. Twice now in the past four months.
I did do some relapse prevention meetings at the end of 2015 for several month. I plan on checking in again on them this coming week.
This time I did see it coming, saw the warning signs, now I'm kicking myself.

Don't kick yourself too much. If I had done that I wouldn't have an ass left.
Sometimes it takes a few failures. I know of no one alcoholic, personally, who said "I'm gong to quit" and actually doing it without a few bumps in the road.
It took me many attempts to get sober. Save yourself some misery, and believe me, it only gets worse. For me anyway. And I ended up a daily drinker, and by that I mean all day.
just reached five years nine months sober two days ago. So even the bad cases like me can recover.
A plan is a good idea. Whatever it takes.
For me, it took admitting I was powerless over alcohol. I was addicted.
I took action. Went to AA where I met people similar to me. I came here and found the same.
You can do it. You never have to drink again.
Best to you.

Well, day 6. Feeling and eating better, sleeping having good and bad nights as expected.
Can't seem to shake the "irritability" part though. Seems like everything sets me off, luckily I've kept my mouth shut (or kicking the dogs
) not that I would anyway. Just keeping to myself as much as possible, knowing this too will pass
