Hi eve. I'm sorry you had this painful experience. I did it too - but it served to make me even more determined. I experimented with controlled drinking - I failed horribly and ended up worse off than ever. After my last time trying to moderate I was ready to regain my sobriety and begin a new life. I was finally convinced that alcohol could never be part of it. Sometimes it takes us a few tries. You came back - you are ready to get free of it and get healthy - we know you can!

This misery will end when you make it end. Not easy, but simple. It's up to you. Do you want to be sober more than you want to drink?

Alcoholism sucks- big time
You however- do not. You are valued and you are not alone.
My support and prayers to you.
As Dee said- It does get better. I think of my recovery in terms of investing the same ampunt of time daily to recovery- as I used to in the whole ritual of drinking (the space, getting the booze, hiding it, rubbish- the next day...).
