akc,
Don't beat yourself up about it; none of us is perfect and you did what you had to do maybe. Maybe it isn't so all or nothing, so black & white. Nothing else in life is, really.
I did the same thing Friday night - Dec. 24th would have been 6 months not drinking for me. I was mad at myself Saturday, because I felt like shit and I blew off a perfectly beautiful day. But like Greg said, I'm tired of blaming myself for not being perfect. So I felt like getting trashed - that doesn't mean I'm bad, and it doesn't mean I'll do it again real soon. It just means I'm human, with human weaknesses. I choose to look at it that way.Marie
> akc, don't be too hard on yourself. Do what you have to do to get by. I think I'm in the same boat as you right now. A lot of good intentions that were fairly easily maintained when my mood was up have fallen by the wayside. I just can't seem to do things that are good for me right now. Who can I blame? I tired of blaming me.
