Relapsed :( day 1 again

I was doing great for ages. I was at a festival and thought I could handle one drink. I was wrong and got very drunk and made a show of myself. Almost ruined my relationship. I have so much fear and anxiety today. But thankfully relationship is ok now but I need to sort myself out permanently. I’m such a easy going person. But with Alcohol I’m an idiot. New start. I can do this.

I found real happiness when I surrendered to sobriety. I’d been fighting against the idea for years, but when I accepted it as my reality and dedicated my actions to getting sober, I found peace of mind and I found that any concern with alcohol was lifted from my mind. I hope you find the same.

Here’s some ways folks here have gotten and stayed sober.

Day1 is a good place to start.

I saw someone here post a page from this book, it was so inspiring I had to order it.
And I’m so glad I did as it has really shown me how to deal with my deep emotions and life situation. It has shown me that some ways I am dealing with it are the right way but also opened up alot more guidance for me to heal myself mentally. (Thank you to the person who posted a page of this book recently, it has helped me in more ways than I even know myself yet)
This page made me just think of you and
think of this paragraph as your addiction.
Also get to some meetings, keep reaching out here and try some meditation for healing, it really does work you have to keep going at it and your life will fall back into place.
It’s great your here on Day1, your saving your self, today is a good day to start.
