I think everyone has relapses when they first start detox. don't beat your self up, start over, just one day at a time...you can do this, I believe in you my friend... be strong and take care

rick, im glad you identified drinking as a trigger for you, it is also my #1 trigger also, so i have layed off the sauce. i think you had a bump a month ago too. im not sure how long you used, but PAWS can play a huge part in relapses and they can occur the strongest around 30 , 60, 90 days and a lot happens. i see so many relapses here around the 90 day mark and i do believe this has a lot to do with it. anyway get back up bud, cause you can do this. you have already learned something new by alcohol being a problem. keep posting and keep fighting, one day at a time. good luck

Most of us when we began or sobriety have set backs as we continue the struggle to get clean we start identifying the triggers that keep us active.. It sounds like this is where you are at.. I'm glad you are going to stop drinking as booze leaves us vulnerable to things we would not normally do and it makes us feel like **** in the morning. You know all the reasons to stay clean Your wife needs you there now a new job and so on now you need to find the reason for yourself personally and start working on issues that cause you to want the escape... Finding mine was probably the most difficult process I have ever gone through but ultimately was the most important and the best for me.. I wish you well on your journey as that is what it is a journey.. Be kind to yourself.. lesa

Glad to hear you are thinking about quitting - -- but the truth is it does sound a bit like you are already setting yourself up to fail.   You want and need to quit - not just toy with the idea - - - In order to do that you will need someone you can trust to help you  either detox CT or taper and hold your pills - until you are ready to do that and set a rigid 'quit date' you will most likely not continue to sobriety.   Go tell your doctor, your spouse, your parents, pastor;priest, loved one, etc - where you are in your addiction -- you will find (like all of us did) amazing resources and strength along with the encouragement to get free.  Best of luck to you.  Just really get serious and quit with the negative thinking.  Blessings to you
