Have to get back on track

Gus,
  I am glad that you made it back. Please keep connected. The realization is good that we cant handle liquor  but best of all we need to realize that if we dont consciously work on issues/situations that make us un-comfortable, thats when our addictive mind reaches out for booze. They say in the fellowship I am part of, the same person will drink again. So true. Every individual has to realize this. If it happens quick the better, so we could avoid more damages.

Hi everyone,
It’s been a long time since I check in here. 

I had been alcohol free for two and a half years. I started drinking alcohol free beer a few months ago, which in hindsight was a big mistake. I went on a trip with a bunch of friends and they were drinking, and while I stuck with alcohol free beer, they all drank and I think it made we want to drink. Shortly after, I had a drink. Then you know the rest of the story. Recently, I got drunk and my wife found me passed out. 

It a horrible feeling to realize that I can’t handle drinking at all. I knew this when I quit, but somehow, I tricked myself into believing it would be ok this time???? 

Anyway, I need to get back on track. I am using the calendar on the site daily to check in and track my progress. I am hoping to surpass two and a half years and go the rest of my life without alcohol. 

Gus
