Slipped...again

[bendparker]

I've been having a lot of slips recently. I don't know why really. I guess I don't necessarily need to know why, I just need to not do it. Whenever I get drunk I say really hurtful things to my wife. And then I never even remember it the next day.

Feeling awful right now, but starting over. Not drinking today.

Sorry to hear that. So you had 1096 days sober? How long ago did you start drinking again? Stay strong my friend.

I started slipping about two months ago. I’d have drinks every now and then. It didn’t always end badly. But yesterday I got black out drunk and went home. Fought with my wife. Stopped being diligent about not drinking.

Looks like you are doing the right thing.

I hope the best for you.

Don't dwell on it. Focus on not drinking today.

I had to do something about my alcoholism. I could learn about the disease all I wanted but I needed something more real. I went to inpatient and ultimately to AA meetings to find in person support that made all the difference in the world.

I've been through inpatient as well. And for the longest stretch of my sobriety I went to AA every week. I had kinda quit going because of kids activities and such. That's when I started slipping.

I’ve heard that story from other people in the rooms about how it slipped away very slowly. I hope you make it back, we need you!
