I can't deal with the guilt

It’s the way I feel the day after I drink that is terrible. I dont drink like I used to, once every month or two. But when I do, you can be sure I said and did the most stupid embarrassing shit. This is why I am going to try and stay sober for good. I hate feeling like an asshole, even if it’s every few months. I know better. I’ve been dealing with it for 15 years. It brings me right back to where I used to be, feeling like shit for a few days because I couldn’t stop like a normal person and obsessing over what people must think of me and how I act when I drink. I get so depressed for a few days. It’s enough. I’m taking this year to just stay sober every day and save myself from myself.

Exactly how I feel! It’s a little comfort to know we aren’t alone in it all. I do and say things I wouldn’t allow myself to when I’m of sober mind but when I drink all my sensibility goes straight out the window…I can’t imagine what people think of me…but that not ME! It’s the alcohol and I’ve got to stop running back to it thinking this time will be different, it never is.

Haha, that’s a typical occurrence it seems. Very cool that you have made this decision. Stay up, stay positive, stay strong!
