Bender ended on Sunday with a mad dose of depression and self pity. Nobody deserves to feel like this is what I remember thinking before going to sleep in the early afternoon.
Now off to bed on my Thursday, sober since, never wanting to feel that way again.

Sunday is a great day to end drinking and Monday a great day 1, just like me, 2 and a half weeks ago!

You can do this! We're here for you!

Just don't swallow any more alcohol.
You can do it.

It's good to hear from you, FC, and you never have to go through that again.

You never will feel like that again if you don’t drink again. It’s a one day at a time deal 🙏

I'm so glad to hear this, FC. This can be the last time you ever feel like that--you are correct--no one deserves to feel the kind of torment that alcohol provides. Sobriety opened up so many different opportunities for me to live a decent, fulfilled, and dignified life, and my life is infinitely better sober--no one has ever regretted stopping drink. Wishing you continued success, and if you ever feel tempted to drink, please come here first. Someone will help talk you out of that madness.

The pain it causes seems to disappear over time, and then the common a few won't hurt I can be in control mentality returns. It's fun for a bit. Then the waking up wondering how I embarrassed my self or who I emotionally hurt. Riddled with guilt so numb myself some more. My alcohol cycle, round and round.
everyday now I must remind myself that this time won't be different. It starts with a sip and ends up with a poor state of mind and more.
