Great posts here. I could not say it better than Rose and nonsensical.

The big haha for me was when I accepted EMOTIONALLY that I was addicted to alcohol.

This meant that whenever I drink I would drink compulsively.

This in turn meant that it would only be a series of day ones, what fun is that.

So I stopped and never looked back.

Drinking is just not an option.

The rest is a work in progress.

Stewy- You've been down this road before. You know how to move past the difficult times. This is the best you have done in a very long time...keep going!

How are you feeling now, Stewy? How was band practice?

Good that you posted Stew. Drinking is NOT an option. 11 days is too awesome to throw it all away. Keep powering through.

I drink beer. I’m actually gutted. I really feel totally worthless. My ex moving on and me stuck the way I am in limbo. Can’t even get a few days sober. I’m an absolute discrace ashamed of me!!!!

I’d rather not be here in this pain

I am so sorry to hear that you are drinking.

Please pour the rest out and get to sleep.

Drink plenty of water before you go to sleep.

Make tomorrow Day 1.

I agree with Leigh Stewy. Pour it out get back to sobriety tomorrow.

If you really can't get past the pain, and you still have nothing in your toolbox but beer, and you still won't consider doing anything more for your recovery than posting here and one SMART meeting a week, maybe therapy will help you at least move on from the ex?

I'm sorry you drank Stew. Make tomorrow you Day 1.

In my extensive research..drinking over an ex only prolongs the pain. I've also made some horrendous decisions drinking after a breakup(drunk calls/texts,picking up random 'rebounds',ect..). When you wake up tomorrow,she'll still be gone too. No contact with the booze and her(including her family/friends) is your only way through this,dude. She's gone.
