My friend

[Siouxzie68]

Hey guys I feel I’ve let you lot down, I actually had two glasses of Prosecco over Christmas, this is not an excuse but a very healthy friend died during a routine operation for gallstones, to cut a long story short she reacted to the anesthetic and had an aneurysm and passed away, instead of feeling blessed I went straight to the bottle, thankfully although I was stupid I stopped at two glasses and haven’t touched anything since, do I tell brett something that happened two weeks ago or trust in myself?? I’ve never felt so guilty in my entire life,the main reason is although I’m trying to help my friends girls they keep telling me how proud of me they are and so was my friend, I’m in a catch 22 and have only you guys that will really understand,thank you for listening/reading x

We all make mistakes along the way and you sound like your beating yourself up enough without anyone else kicking the boot in .. you have learned from it and you stopped have a little pride in yourself for realising it and just carry on the good work x

Totally agree with jojokarak.

No harm done, you dealt with the situation very well by not taking up drinking full time. Forget it happened and move forward.

Hi there. It's a slip up. We make mistakes, often more than once, but we learn from them. Call on support to get through all of this if you need it. I lost my sister almost 10 years ago to a berry aneurysm. It's so unexpected, so hard. You did well to stop at 2. Try thinking there are no problems only answers. Happy New Year.

I've only just come across your post otherwise I would have commented sooner. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend, and I think a lot of use on here can understand you wanting to turn to drink. But having just two glasses is such a good result, it's as if you are in control which is fantastic. You don't get to go and sit on the naughty step, and don't go beating yourself up.
