I've been really struggling with drinking again and have been drunk 6 of the of past 7 nights. I got it back on track towards the start of this month where I was only drinking on the weekend but I couldn't keep that up.
Today is a special day for me though. Back in very beginning of 2019 I dropped out of college and became a NEET for many years, and October 24th 2021 was when I started piecing my life back together. There's been ups and downs but the past two years have been the best two years of my life. Maybe this October 24th will be just as important for me, who knows.
Sounds like you've got a lot going for you. As a fellow alcoholic who doesn't always do so well, you've got this too. It's one day at a time. Some days I don't even think about it. Others I get off work and get drunk. But these days it's more of the former than the latter.
I wish you the best!
So sorry to hear that you've been struggling with drinking again, I know that's a really tough thing to deal with (I fell off the wagon literally yesterday). I hope that circumstances in your life become such that the drinking no longer feels necessary.
Also hell yeah about the past two years being the best of your life. That's amazing, comrade. I hope the next two are even better.
