Hi Wolf,
Iām glad youāre here. Itās not Day Zero anymore. Sobriety is achievable now. I went back out after a long time sober and it was a relief to ācome homeā. Life was a total disaster but I had hope once I came back. Held on to that. I kinda moved in for a while. The people here were (are) so kind to me. It might have been Day one but I had a couch to sit on. So glad we both decided to return. Welcome back

Day 995 AF
Good morning, gang.
Another beautiful day in southern California. Weāre not doing much today. Weāre still exhausted from the beach on Friday and the waterpark yesterday. Just gonna stay in and catch up on movies/shows.
Have a great sober day everyone! Take care.

Itās sad, but it doesnāt erase the sober year you just had, nor the lessons you learned 
I had a full year sober too, made the āmoderationā mistake while on holiday, then I spiralled. I then had several months off, then another spiral. I imagined it would help me with stress, but it made it much worse. Youāve an opportunity right now to stop this turning into a spiral. Remember all the good things sobriety gave you, or go back to the misery you felt before your sober year. Reflect deeply on that, get a good mental picture of what that looked like.
Iām sorry to hear about your separation, itās not easy. Drinking is not the answer though. It will only send you down a spiral of shame and guilt, which is the last thing you need right now. Get straight back on the sobriety horse, we are here for you

Iām sorry you are having such a hard time I read your post about what those horrible people did on your birthday, too. I didnāt get to respond at the time, I could have been putting little monkeys to bed 
I have no idea why grown adults act like this, some people have nothing good inside them. Itās tough to see this when youāre the one on the receiving end of their disgusting behaviour, but imagine getting to their ages and treating other people like that? Full of nastiness, and apparently so pathetic that they do shit things to other people for the approval of their equally disgusting friends. This is ALL on them, theyāre the problem. Youāre a wonderful, caring, and thoughtful person. It makes me sad they caused you to feel the way you did, and the binge that followed.
How you respond to heightened emotions, it resonates with me. Alcohol, food, and my phone are what I turn to when I go through feelings I donāt know how to process. I feel it when you say you checked the scale as a deterrent, but it went the other way. Itās something I do regularly. āTomorrow is another day, Iāll start againāā¦ Iām sure youāre familiar with that one 
I donāt have all the answer my lovely, but I am taking my fences one at a time. Iām almost 9 days sober, and Iām waiting to get to a more stable place with alcohol sobriety before I deal with other things. Thereās nothing new about this plan, but my aim is to replace the bad vices with healthy replacements to try channel my emotions into something positive and productive. Seeing as I need to sort my weight out, Iām focusing on turning bottles of vodka into evening walks, and Iāve invested in some gym equipment too.
Iām not sure what coping mechanisms you have at the moment, could any of this work for you too?

Day 15 - busy busy day, cleaned the house, taking care of the cat, lots of cooking and helping out at my parents house while they are away on vacation then a concert tonight! Needless to say Iām keeping busy.
Stopped in at one of friends place today, who admittedly has always been one of my go to drinking buddyās. That being said, Iāve been up front with him about my sober journey and he has been so so so supportive, we even talked about his own relationship with alcohol. Pretty cool to know I have my friends back even when I feel like Iām down and out.
Hope everyone is keeping well and able to smell the roses that are all around us!

Thatās how I feel right about now.

I had a nice and pleasant weekend, but Iām still annoyed about an encounter I had on Friday. I was stupid and let myself get dragged into an argument about something that is simply a personal preference. Yet I felt the need to explain myself, when it was really none of their business. Why do I let people get to me? And why do I let people gaslight me into questioning my decisions and frankly my own personal path in life? Iāve not asked for their opinion or their advice, still now I feel like Iāve done something wrong, or Iām not good enough.
