So i just went 12 days with zero alcohol. And felt great. So this Friday i drank and today Saturday i have drank telling myself i can control knowing i cant but try to. The battle here is rough for me.

Don’t pick up another drink and you’ll be right back on that path to feeling great again. Hit a meeting.

I can’t tell you not to pick up , but I see my similar ways you just spoke of in me, I struggle too! Somehow we will get to the other side of not lying to ourselves…we will make it..

Just start over, I have many times! Guilt is a ego trip! Leave guilt at the back door. Think positive. We are human and just keep on trying. That’s all any of us can do.

I suggest going to a meeting everyday multiple if you can for at least 30 days straight

My story is pretty funny so I’ll keep it short I actually motivated my best friend who lives across the country to quit drinking and I didn’t know he was doing crack and then he motivated me to quit drinking, and I’ll never forget what he said, when I told him, I didn’t know whether I could control myself or not. He said, the only one we have to avoid is the first one, and for some reason that made so much sense.

I don’t know man, I’d say quit betting against yourself and choose to take back control.

Meetings really help! If you need someone to reach out to message me and I can give you my number and other phone numbers of people who you can reach out to for help.

First off Im proud of you for those 12 days of zero alcohol! Be easy on yourself. You know what’s harming you and if your ready and would do whatever it takes to be sober then start your journey! In my opinion, it was a slip up just a “lapse” hopefully not a full blown relapse. you fell off the horse but quickly got back on. You deserve sobriety and control. Be mindful and stay strong 
we’re in this fight together one day at a time 🪷
