Hit my goal of 30 days this weekend, and I was counting down the hours and minutes like the ball was dropping on New Years Eve. Slammed two pints like the last month never happened. Here I sit comatose from downing a four pack of 11% Alc longnecks thinking why… I can help everyone but myself today. I will punch the reset button and persevere this week. Saddened by the reality that I will never be able to have just one. Trying to beat my addiction back into its cage, and not reveal the constant struggle to everyone. Lord give me the strength

They do say we never take our own advice. 😔 I have managed to stay sober 41 days, a complete miracle. Every day is a struggle and I think about drinking. Do you attend meetings, or IOP groups?

Congratulations on 41 days, that is great. I have not attended a group session, or counseling yet.

You should look into it, not sure how things are where you from. Here in MA there are so many programs. I attent an intensive out patient group 5 days a week, 4 hour days. They help greatly.

Its okay, its part of who we are.. I admit Im afraid of this everyday.. I give strong advice but I can feel myself trying to convince me that Im just a few days away from 100 days and THEN Ill be okay to drink.. Like WHAT??HOW ? Do I need my head examined??? Lol It’s who we are. I hope you have the strength to start over and make it further this time.

I know how you’re feeling, my friend. I’m sorry you’re experiencing such a shitty time but you did it for 30 days, next aim for 300!! You will make it. I believe in you relapse or not!
