First Day of Spring and new beginning

Day 1 again. I’d like to reintroduce myself. I was here about 5 yrs ago and had 16 months sober. Life was good. I then threw it away to please someone I became involved with. That relationship quickly ended, but I rekindled my relationship with alcohol. We started out slow, but you all know how the story goes. It been over three years of drinking, regret, guilt, shame, failed attempts. I am so disgusted with myself. Looking in the mirror at my red, puffy face. Wasting money on booze and ‘drunk Prime’. Trying to hide my addiction is still the same burden, maybe worse as my kids are now young adults.
I woke up early and being thinking about what I can do to get back to sober me. I deleted all Instagrams of my favorite bars and got some sober apps. I plan to go to the gym after work instead of straight home to the bottle and couch.
i hope this new season of rebirth can resurrect the sober me I crave to be.

Good work on getting back here. Many of us have the same experience. Sounds like you have a good plan for today, what else are you going to do in the days ahead?

Thanks all!
@Lessgravity my plans for future sobriety are to not let my guard down and actively practice gratitude. I do my best to avoid people and situations that make me uncomfortable.
