Starting again
I had a lapse for 3 or 4 days but managed to pour my drink away last night. I feel horrible as I was just getting the trust back. I thought I'd better be honest and tell my family but now there not talking to me which I don't blame them for as iv done this loads of times. My anxiety is through the roof and all I want to do is drink to feel better but I know it will just make me worse. I need to get back to sobriety but I always seem to fail

Alex,
I look at drinking as poison.
It makes my BP go up, it makes me physically weak, i get sick easier, it alters my sleep.
What do I get out of it. Drunken euphoric feelings for a short time.
I watch drunk people all the time. There is nothing charming or appealing.
I don't believe the hype any more. The commercials that make drinking seem awesome are marketing manipulation.
Booze is a highly addictive neurotoxin toxin that causes irreversible brain damage.
I have adapted to what is left of my brain. If I relapse, I will begin to damage my brain and body all over.
I love living as strong and aware as I possibly can.
I don't want to be under any influence ever again.
The only way I got this far was to suffer. I suffer a bit everyday. As an addict for life everything is a trigger.
But, living strong is how God intended. I had to make a new sober life to fill in the gaps left from stopping drinking.
I fear booze. I know I could relapse in the next minute and have less current sober time than you.
I put on a brave face each day and live as vibrantly as I can given my sober strength.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Meetings are a great idea. You almost can't go wrong there.
Coming here, when you get the urge to drink, is great, too.
Please remember, there's nothing a drink is going to kame better.
And you never have to drink again.
