Messed up again I just got through 10 days of sobriety after 15 years of drinking daily. It was remarkably easy. I felt great and proud of myself every day. For whatever reason, I just wanted to drink today come hell or high water. knowing that I would feel shame, knowing that I wouldn't feel good tomorrow, knowing that it's bad for my health, knowing that I would let myself down again. And I debated all day, and the alcoholic in me won again. But I won't let him win tomorrow. God bless everyone that struggles with this menace. |
You're certainly not alone. That drinking thinking got me drunk so many times I couldn't count them. Sometimes after even months of sobriety. You could come here the next time you have those thoughts. Have you considered a group meeting like AA? I found it very beneficial. Just want to let you know you're not alone. I was a daily drinker for ten years, too. It took me awhile to recover. Just pick yourself up and start again. I had to. A lot. Best to you. |
I'm sorry you drank elnotcho but I can guarantee that places like SR can tip the balance next time - you gotta use them tho.... D |

I slipped yesterday too after 7 days sobor . The temptation was to big and my AV won . Now I'm hungover tired anxious ... Last week I had the worst hangover ever and I promised I would never put myself though hat again . But as always I did |
Be prepared next time with a plan. I've been there, too. Just keep trying and don't give up. |
