    Awwww, Sue, I am so sorry that you are sad. 

    It's OK, start again. 

    I have gone over my limit for some reason tonight....but I guess the reason is the same as yours....I have a drinking problem.

    Tomorrow is another day.

      There definitely isn't a 'good' drunk, last few weeks I've slackened a bit but tonight on my sons 21st with all his mates round, (most I know and most know I love a drink) I stayed very focused, it was so different, I had to be controlled and a bit bossy and prob not as 'cool' as I used to be but it makes me proud of myself.

      Stay strong guys we all have off days this was never going to be easy

      If it was hey we wouldn't have a problem would we ??

      Much love xxxx

      Sue, you can do whatever you want to do, you are stronger than you think.  It wasn't your choice to be alcohol dependent, you have fought and stuggled to overcome this terrible affliction.  Don't give up now, be proud of what you have done.

      I know you will be back supporting everyone, as you have in the past....I always trust you and look to you for advice.

    We all ask ourselves why???? There are lots of reasons why it starts then it becomes habit which is why it then becomes a problem!!!! I admit I have a drinking problem which goes hand in hand with the depression and anxiety!! So it then becomes a viscious circle which do you combat first?????

      I know what you are saying, Sandie.  I too am in that viscious circle.  It's a form of self-medication for me.....a release from the depression and anxiety.  I am told that alcohol causes depression, so I feel I am between a rock and a hard place.

      I will keep on trying though....never say never.

    Hi Sue, hope you manage to stay sober on day three. I have gone on a 2-3 week binge since my first 2 weeks of sobriety. I regret not making a post on day 2, like you have, It's great you are self-aware and wish you the best smile
