Mia,
Please do not put yourself down for being "weak."
You are not "weak" you are not in the mindset to be sober.
There is a difference.
Why are we addicted to alcohol? I don't know for sure but there is a lot of literature out there about it.
You can choose to fight it or not. I choose to fight it.
Love,

Hi Mia,
Hope you are doing better today. I also hope you take a long hard look at what all this hard drinking is doing to you as your work most likely will only give so many passes on doing what you are doing before catching on. Not to mention the wear and tear on your body. You deserve so much more than this abuse you are putting yourself through.
I hope you find the strength to let go of the bottle and get clean and happy again.

Mia,
I am glad to hear you gave yourself a reality check. Having a job you actually love is such a blessing and a great goal for staying AF. I love my job and the opportunity it brings for me and my family and AL was a great reward after work for a job well done. I found that it became merely habit to come home and pour a drink where now I am conscious of making sure I have better options to engage with when I get home.
I'm sending you positive thoughts and I hope you continue to be strong!Comment

8 years is totally amazing! You can do it again and you are an inspiration for those of us who can't muster a lousy 6 months without some form of rehab or isolation! I think you should not be so hard on yourself, but know that you can do it again.
When I look in the mirror these days it really scares me... 45 years old and looking more like 60. The alcohol has drug me down yet I am still trying to get another AF day!
I wish you the best and I believe in your ability to do it again! Nothing to fear but fear itself.... I know that sounds like a load of crap, but there may be some truth in it!
Blessings and best wishes,FROGZ~Comment
