On the sofa for days
Got a new job, was moving to a new state, and was starting a "new life" in the coming weeks.
I wanted to go out with a bang since I promised I would be sober after my new life began.
I binged for a whole week and maybe ate once. I would drink from the time I woke to the time I passed out (this was my pattern over the previous year). I began my withdrawal process and promised this would never happen again.
I browsed the web and found SR and read it throughout my 3 day withdrawal.
My new life began and my binge drinking returned. Two hospital visits and constant disappointment to my loved ones and employer. Now that I may lose everything, I have joined up and am starting to post.
This is it. If things don't change today, I will graduate from a high bottom alcoholic to a low bottom alcoholic.

yeah ... it's right out of the playbook ... sounds the same as my script was ...
I drank for 40 years, and when it got REAL BAD, I struggled to CONTROL it for years, which was REEEAL BAAAAD.
Then ... after continual episodes of gut wrenching Pitiful & Incomprehensible Demoralization ... I finally surrendered and WORKED the steps, listened to a LOT of Recovery Speaker Messages which I found by doing Web Searches ... and the MIRACLE happened ...
RDBplus3 ... Happy, Joyous and FREE ... and I maintain it by continuing to WORK the program. The Program worked me to set me FREE ... now I WORK the program to remain Happy, Joyous and FREE

I was in that place!! Make this the last time you are there. Is there an outpatient program or a sober living facility that you could go to after the hospital. I am in an outpatient program and they test you for alcohol so you can't cheat and it is wonderful tobe around others going through the same thing. Do anything like AA, a program, therapy, whatever. You can make this the last time you are in this place and can rebuild your life. My life fell apart in July and I am right there with you!!!
