I was doing so well…and caved at a Halloween party, ending up with a DUI. I am mortified with myself and the shame and guilt is beyond words. This is my rock bottom

Dang that's rough. Starting from where you are is always the only way. I recommend a book called Alan Carr's quit drinking without willpower. It may very well remove your desire to drink at parties. We'll, show you how to lose that desire. Chin up, baby steps, life can be wonderful!
Ok. So…its done now and the consequences are what they are in tour local.
So today is day 1. You aren’t the first of us and you certainly will not go down as the last either.
I suggest AA meeting. Not preaching. Only what worked for me. I can’t say enough the power of being around folks like you. I’m sure you have people you count on as friends but I’m guessing no one said NO! Don’t do it. You were doing so well. It’s not worth it. Peer pressure is a very real thing and it works both ways. Maybe someone wanted to step in but didn’t want you to rage. Maybe someone had other motivations for you being hammered. who knows. All we know is that no one stepped up and did everything including saying lets get going. This is a bad environment.
However you choose to find like minded community should be job 1 tomorrow. Whether AA, NA, church, group therepy, sober yoga….etc. and in combination.
The old saying holds…
“If you play on the tracks you will eventually encounter the train”.
My contact info is in profile. I know your name. Text me and I’ll call back as soon as I possibly can.
I’ve been there and am happy to chat, listen, talk nonsense. Whatever you want. Just get some sleep tonight. Thank god no one was injured. Tomorrow you become a new you!
Get it done kiddo! Luv ya,
