My friend with over 4 years went back out last night. Just called me all fucked up. Nothing I can do for him now. Probably will see him at a meeting later.

I feel like seeing a lot of solid people that I shared sobriety with fall and relapse was a major trigger to me in the past. I now guard myself against other addicts and their behavior. Water off your back, dude. Dont let it affect you.

The main share on Friday was by a guy who had 3 years.
Then decided to go back out. He didn’t say how long he had this time. But he spoke of a family holiday recently where he got wasted and told his whole family a few things.
Hes now no longer able to see his children and grandchildren and his wife has left him after having rebuilt his relationship with her over the 3 years he’d been sober.
Just shows it can happen anytime. At no time should we think " we got this".

That’s what will happen to me if I drink again

I read that first and then The Naked Mind which explains the science behind drinking. For me both were extremely helpful.

I think just remembered the whole of step 1!..admit that that I’m powerless over my addiction and my life had become unmanageable??!
2.come to believe a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity?? 
… Brain slowly recovering…

I haven’t searched them… I’m trying to remember by memory so just a couple of clues, I think I may have put step 3 and missed step 2? Or are they right? 
I’m pretty sure that’s right mate

Hi Buddy. Stick around and definitely, a problem shared and all that.
Tired,extremely, had a good day Saturday but today losing energy again… Almost end of day 5 now, got black eyes still and driving home after work knowing the difference that picking up cans in way home sure isn’t gonna improve my looks or health tonight!. Short tempered with kids as what happens when I’ve been numb for months, and they like to show all their emotions when I am sober, was told once that children can’t read your emotions when under influence… Hey ho towards finding balance…
