3 days...

Back on the wagon 3 days after a 21 day tumble from it. I have been sober 10 out of the last 14 years, I did good up until 7 years. The last 7 years have been a little shaky, a few months to a few years of on and off sobriety. I'm just glad I got it shut off again. Next time there may not be a stopping point. Don't know what makes me decide it's ok to have A DRINK or a BEER, but it always has the same outcome. Can you say INSANITY? Evil shit Alcohol!

I can relate. Not to the time frame but the on and off. I finally realized that not only would I end up in the s### hole again, but if not then only WORSE. Each time it was worse. It's like they say: there are three ends to an alcoholic: Jail, Institution, Death, and it is always the latter that ends it all. Take back the wheel and take the next exit listed "Recovery". Would you do anything--anything--to save your life? Explore those possibilities.

I am only nearing my 4th month and recognize it could end any day if I don't keep active at protecting my life with all I have got.

Keep coming here and know that you are not alone, and people worse than you and I have gotten out of it and stayed sober.

Sending you hugs and positive thoughts.

OMG...my story exactly...I just came off a 21 day tumble and I missed Christmas and everything....I'm on Day 3 as well. I had to go to hospital I was so out of it...they gave me two IVs and some Librium....I am scared. And I also don't think there would be an end point for me either next time - unless it was death.

Same thing too..I think AH....I'll just drink a 6 pack....and then I'm off for who knows how long...and I don't shower, eat, or socialize...I sit on the couch drink and smoke...it sucks! I also had 8 years sobriety except for the last 1yr.
