Okay, so... many of you on here were right and many of my friends were right. I was wrong. Very, very, very wrong. I relapsed. Pretty bad. I was drunk two weeks ago on: Wednesday, Thursday I didn't get out of bed, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Last week I was drunk on Tuesday and Wednesday. I was high everyday. Mostly on weed, which I'm not going to try and stop smoking. But I also took ecstasy, shrooms, and something else that I don't know the name of.

So... yeah... I'm currently sober, have been for 37 hours.

I'm not looking for advice or anything, I just thought everybody should know.

beauflow said part of what i was going to say. no need to focus on what has happened. it could make you drink. instead brush yourself off...etc.
question, do you attend a 12 step program? there are many ways one can stay sober. AA saved my life 21 yrs.ago. it seems yr method isn't working for you so thought i'd share my experience. we can't get sober alone very well. we need support of others who came before us, imho.
we're here for you too.

just remember no one helping in your recovery or a true friend will ever say an "i told you so" they will only smile and give you a big hug and be glad that your in the here and now.
