I went into the trap: after 200 days of sobriety I thought I could enjoy a glass of wine with friends. The glass turned into a bottle, along with some cans of beer. This happened while being on a weekend vacation with some friends and I didn’t have a problem to resist alcohol afterwards.
2 weeks later, I’ve been drinking every day and I hate it. I can’t stand the thought of being like this, I don’t want to end like this!

I’m in the same boat with weed though
The longest I went was 6months that a few months ago I fell from.
Let’s try to gather up the bit of personal will power and must up some courage and get it done
Today is the 1st day of the rest of our lives
Lets live it up and get our asses sober

Remember this moving forward… don’t fall for the same bullshit twice. Stay sober for the rest of today, it’s all that’s promised anyway. You can do this

I’m glad that you have made the decision that you do not want to drink. In the past you checked in on the checking in thread frequently. That day to day accountability may have helped you a lot in the past and may help you going forward. One day at a time of course.
Make a plan on how to get through your first day without a drink. Back to how you did it before. Lots of good threads here for inspiration.

You’re in the right place, a lot of us had been where you are, and we all had help putting the shovel down so we can stop digging that hole we were in. We are here to help you…
My 2 biggest pieces of advice are this:
Ask for help, and take the advice you are given, even if you don’t want to. A lot of us speak from experience.
The second one is to start changing your relationship with alcohol; as long as you allow it to control you, you will always be fighting it. Stop fighting and surrender, completely.

Good morning to all of you,
Thank you for your comments and thoughts. Yes, the daily check in and also writing my daily journal helped me in my sobriety, it was my laziness, that interrupted both, but I will get back to doing both again. And yes, I will avoid situations that will trigger drinking, although this might also mean not seeing some friends for a while. Better that than continuing digging the hole I am in right now.
Have a good day and see you later today in the daily check-in thread
