Also just lost my glasses, and I don't know what else! blank for literally HOURS. The worst ever. But you know what, it made me realise....duh! alcoholism is a progressive disease. Now I know that for sure. So, lesson learned!
Meetings DO help. I know I need to do more, and I am going to.
Good luck! well done on day 5.

Xpartygirl, it sounds like you are gaining more and more insight on what you need to recover. Remember, you didn't lose what you lost in those 3 weeks and all that matters is this 24...we are rooting for you!

party girl, keep going to meetings ... every day ... do 90 days in 90 days worth of meetings. you always found time to drink so find time to go to AA meetings and just listen. active alcoholism is all about loss ... loss of self-respect, loss of esteem, sometimes even loss of life but always more loss. get serious about this. it's a disease. controlled drinking does not work for alcoholics. get a sponsor in AA. accept the fact that you are an alcoholic and start working the program. once you make a cucumber into a pickle, it can never be a cucumber again. keep on keeping on.

Xpartygirl,
There are very few of us that will get this sober thing the first time around. I definelty wasn't one of them. I know you can do it!
I will make 2 guarantees to you right now!
1) Your life will get worse if you go back out and drink again.
2) Your life will get better if you remain sober.

All we have is a daily reprieve. It's great to rack up hours, day and years of sobriety but like many said in this post, it doesn't matter how long you have sober. Our disease is always patiently waiting for us. It wants us to drink again and it wants us dead. They say that the person with the most sobriety is the person who woke up first this morning.
