Life is too good to drown

I am roughly 2 days sober and the last time I tried sobriety was 3 years ago around this same time of year. Yesterday I was driving, thinking about how many amazing things I have in my life and how much I don't want to destroy those. Every negative aspect of my life, that I could think of, has been caused by my drinking. For the first time in my life I look forward to the distant future and want to be around for it. I really just focused on my next drink and how to hide my hangover. Anxiety is high and alcoholic bordom has come on more than once, but reading anything and everything on this forum, is helping. ALL I want is sobriety at this point. Tonight I am thankful for this forum and the people brave enough to share their truth.

Keep reading and posting.

Welcome back, jhow. I am back to Day 1. I was afraid to post my relapse but, it really helps me come to terms with my addiction. So tired of hiding my booze and feeling like a terrible person. I really want sobriety. I thought I could handle a few glasses of wine but went on a binge. I lost count of how many bottles I bought. It was one too many. I don't know exactly what triggered me. Lonliness, boredom, pain, etc. Nonetheless, i need help because I am ruining my life and my body. Thanks SR for getting me thru this day. I am very grateful for all of you.♡CR
