I’m back

Recovery
#1

Hi! I joined this app in the beginning of the 2022. I was able to go 115 days sober … then I caved while out on a double date back in the spring and ordered some wine. Gradually, my drinking had increased back to every weekend - so I ended up right back where I started.

The past month, I was trying to casually reduce my consumption and it was going really well, I skipped a weekend altogether here and there, and drank less if I did drink. And then what? Well, I just got back from a trip where I drank at least one drink, every day, for 4 days straight. Now, I feel like absolute trash. I’m depressed, anxious, and I feel like a failure.

I’m committing to a less casual approach now, which is why I’m back and starting all over with only 24 hours under my belt.

Wish me luck folks!

I needed to hear this. Thank you. I am in a similar situation. I was 82 days this year. Drank. I thought I could keep it under control and now it’s getting worse again.
