new to this .started drinking heavy about 20 years ago.got worse and worse.got drunk every night for 14 years.then gave up with the help of aa for 4 years.
convinced myself a 2 years back that i could drink sensibly.but ive just got worse and worse.getting plasterd every night again.
this is my first day back off it and i feel like death,sweating shaking.off to an aa meeting tomorrow going to give it my best shot again.feel so disapointed with myself.when i look back i relise how good those dry years were,and i want it back.

hello

Bluebird:
I've never been to an AA meeting but I believe the mantra is "one day at a time". So, as you said, today is your first day. Just make it through today. The sweating, shaking, I hate that too. It will pass, but if it gets too bad please see a doc. No shame in trying to get better. Please let us know how you are doing. Good to have you with us!

Keep remembering what you loved about those two years you were sober. You will find your way back, especially considering you have done it before. Best of luck to you!!

hi bluebird and :welcome:

if you haven't done it already, download the MWO book from this site: the advice in it is invaluable. I have no experience of AA but many people here have great success in combining the parts of the 2 programmes that work for them.

Stay with us and keep reading and posting! K
