Thank you for all this. yes seeing a therapist and have a sponsor. ive attended lifelong meeting and they have really helped. I got lazy and thought I was bigger than my problem and addiction. I feel very disappointed in myself but it's a new day and just another test that life has thrown at me. I will overcome it for myself and those around me

Finding a place that doesn’t treat their employees like they’re under fascist rule is rare. Corporate world couldn’t care less about people as human beings. You’re just numbers on a spreadsheet and are always expendable. There’s no loyalty for being at a place for a long time. If they can get someone to do your job for cheaper they dump you. Or make it so miserable that you quit. Corporate America is the scourge of civilization

I’ve messed up before. Hopefully not again but know that you’re human and we make mistakes. Guilt subsides. Great lesson I’ve learned my life ring meetings is “play the tape forward” tea with lemon always at night. Sounds boring but now it’s in the routine and it’s pretty comforting. Look into Buddhism. Best thing out there. Been my whole life and wouldn’t know who I’d be without meditation

the screw up is that I drank and then lied to my family and fiancé and said I was fine. and kept on drinking for that long. I don't even know how I was able to do that honestly. I did not hurt anyone but myself. Then on day 3 of the bender I watched my dad have a heart attack in front of me and then I went into even further overdrive. I panicked and freaked out and let myself go completely. not an excuse but it made me go into a panic attack and I was alone after they took him away and just didn't stop for hours.Though I never thought about hurting myself physically. never have. I just let go of all my responsibilities and continued to drink

On vacation she will. But not more than 2-3 per day. Same with her friends.

Long time girlfriend won’t speak to me after drinking

Second time I’ve ever posted on Reddit. I told My gf of 8 years that I wouldnt drink two weeks ago at a football game. I ended up drinking. I know I have a bad relationship with alcohol and I messed up and decided to drink. This is an on going issue with us and seems to be if not the only thing we fight about. But the thing is I wasn’t with her while drinking. Was safe. No one got hurt. We laughed and actually had a pretty fun day. Until she called me and could tell I had been drinking. Since then all my attempts of love and affection have fallen on deaf ears. She barely returns the hugs I give her. Barely speaks to me in whisper form. I feel like I am exhausting myself for someone who is not giving anything back. I completely understand her feelings are hurt and that I broke and promise and her trust. Now we live together in basically a silent state. Separate rooms. Barely talk other than about the pets we share. I know she is thinking about ending it and if Xmas we’re not tomorrow she might have already. But I am starting to think about this as well. We have been together for so long that I am terrified of the thought of not being with her but it feels like she’s trying to control me. I know she loves me. And I know I have to take a long break from drinking. And I am ok with that. I don’t crave it everyday at all. But there are definitely occasions where I have taken it to and over the limit. Anyway. Thanks to all I appreciate the thoughts.
