Here’s another link to a great thread with specific suggestions to grow one’s sobriety. Resources for our recovery
One of the mental traps I would get caught up in was identifying myself as a binge drinker. Eventually, like @RiverHippy, I watched the interval between my binges get shorter. What I was doing was recovering physically and financially on my “off days”, preparing for my next drunk.
Over time, my tolerance for the pain and self loathing that were the price for drinking grew until I became a daily drinker, and when I got the chance, an around the clock drinker.
To recover, I needed physical and emotional support, and a clear plan of action. When I began to trust that I could and would stay sober “from pillow to pillow”, from wakening to sleeping again that day, and using the plan of action of medication, counseling and AA, then my confidence in my sobriety grew. I hope you can similarly find a path to recovery, @BPD, @RiverHippy, and @Dolse71. Blessings on your houses
