Hurt those closest to me

I did something terrible. I will regret it for the rest of my life. I dont remember much of it, i was black out drunk. 3 days sober. I will try and engage with this forum during my recovery. I cant let anything like this happen again, i am disgusted with myself.

Oh I know this feeling… Had a night myself this week, day two for me. Glad you’re here, glad you’re taking accountability.

Welcome back @ShyBert ! Do not look back for now but focus on staying sober today.
Have you come across the Daily check in thread or the Daily gratitude? It`s a great way to stay connected and committed. Hope to see more of you :orange_heart:

i know how you feel, it is horrible, the worst thing about alcohol, one can lose material things but hurting loved one does hurt a lot. The disgust and shame will last for a few days, but if it lasts longer, then please work with it and do not stay in it for too long as it will then just add to the self loathing and will eventually lead to a relapse…

I lost the love of my life in late 2023. I stopped drinking for over a month and then thought I could control it and did for 10 months or so. Then it just started getting worse and worse. Till I again lost someone I cared about because we both drank too much. Day 4 for me, no idea if the other half of the last relationship has made it to day 5 himself. But praying he does.

The blue ā€˜What is your plan’ is a link to a thread describing what a ā€˜plan’ is, the stages, etc, with lots of people’s reactions/ experiences. Give it a read :purple_heart:
