Well I’m back to day 1. Sad logging in and looking at my profile reading by that it said I knew this time was it. I broke sobriety end of May I think. Really only made it 50ish days sober. Been drinking pretty heavily ever since. Separated from my wife and been living at my parents for the past 6 weeks. I don’t even have confidence in this round. I’m just going to try and not drink today

Think of those 50ish days as proof that you know you can make it that far.
Dont be too hard on yourself. Youre going through a rough patch, during an already difficult time of trying to remain sober.
Just know that you are strong enough to get through it.
I believe in you! Im trying my hardest to stay sober today as well. (And I’m also trying to dig myself out of a hole, back living with my parents).
We’ve got this. One day at a time.

It sounds like you’re going through a really rough time 
It’s SO easy to fall back into addictions when we are in a vulnerable state. Stay strong, but I hope you also are gentle with yourself. A lapse and a relapse aren’t the same thing and progress isn’t linear. As long as you don’t go “fuck it! I guess I’m a drinker again!” I’d say you’re still doing great

Welcome back. This is a good day to start the rest of your life being sober.
Every journey begins with a first step, and each and every step moves you closer to your destination.
Do you have a plan other than to try to white knuckle your way through? I ask because I could generally white knuckle for a time, but will alone was never enough. A plan of action is what made the difference for me this time, and this time has been 5 years (and counting).
Maybe start with your “why?” and work from there. Do you want to save your marriage, or build a new, single life? Why did you quit before, and why did you drink again?
