I can't decide if this is true or not

Hey at least you were very aware and it has obviously bother you enough. As long as today was the only day and not like a week or so. Stop now. Don’t take another drink. Tomorrow is a new day and you will be stronger because you made yourself out it down.
Should not have to worry about any withdrawal crap.

And I dunno what your recovery plan looked like before but my advice is to not try and simply white knuckle it. Like I said go to meetings and get a sponsor and work the steps. It helps.

And if you ever feel that mental relapse starting get your arse to a meeting pronto before you pick up that bottle/needle/whatever. Because once you are picking it up the very last thing you're gonna do is call a sponsor lol.

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

I.

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II.

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I still don't see it. I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place. It isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III.

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it there, I still fall in.
It's habit. It's my fault. I know where I am. I get out immediately.

IV.

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.

V.

I walk down a different street.

You can overcome this brother. You’ve admitted you have a problem. Seek guidance and care. And find someone that will hold you accountable. All of us men need other men to hold us accountable. You can do this!

My pup of 15 years passed a few weeks ago and I just ain't good at taking these things. I don't know

I suggest getting you a new puppy. Put something joyful in your life to pick you up when you’re feeling down

Ok so you fell down. Get back up, keep pushing forward, and start over tomorrow. Never too late to start again, my friend
