Accountability and new beginnings

Posting here for accountability, as I had a number of days sober even though almost Easter which felt great physically and then, then for some stupid reason I caved and had wine on Easter night. I think it had to do with my feelings of being lonely and inadequate as I don’t have a family of my own since the death of my beloved husband 13 years ago at age 49 which frankly I’ve never gotten over the grief even now. It permeates my whole being still, but then again... I am NOT even close to giving up ! Not even close to surrender to the drink ! I WILL become sober for the long run and for the good of my health and the wellbeing of my loved ones. Starting a new sober path tomorrow ! 👍❤️

Can you start tonight Amy? No time like the present. If not, tomorrow is a good day to start a new sober path, as you say. The path goes by all sorts of holidays and special occasions, and it sounds like you are dealing with some ongoing grief, so you need to find a way to stay on the sober path as it occasionally goes by those things.

I'm happy your relapse will be short, and I'm sorry about your husband.

Welcome back Amy

I dunno about you but drinking made my loneliness and feelings of inadequacy worse, not better.
Keep moving forward - there's nothing for us back the way we came
