I have been really silly I hadn't drank for 2 and a half years, then I started feeling like I was missing out, and recently I have been out drinking and I feel really depressed again. I know I need to come back to AA.

Need to come back.... Amen to that, Ravern. AA is always open for you, the coffee's always on. So bring your feelings, your concerns and your need for recovery back to AA where you will be welcomed with open arms.
I understand where you are at, been there. We in AA are holding the door open for you!

Welcome back Ravern....Come back in, all the way in and sit down, all the way down is how we suggested it at times to our shorter time members. We try to get them into the inner circle rather than on the fringe of the meeting. You can hear more and better that way. You know the suggestions from before. We haven't changed them since you were gone. Don't drink, don't think, go to a meeting, read the Big Book, find a sponser, work the steps etc...It still works if you work it. (((((hugs)))))
Thankyou for all your support, it feels good to hear the wise words of AA, I now need to get myself to an AA meeting. I know I need to approach it differently this time, with more commitment. I feel happy that I don't have to end up the same way I was before, I've tried it a second time and yes I do have a problem with alcohol. If only I could stop the drink before the trouble starts, but I know I never know when to stop once I start. But at least I can look forward to no more hangovers, getting on with my life and achieving my goals.

I've been in since Feb. I went out for a few days and had a few drinks. I felt too humiliated to go back to my home group, but I was despereate enough to do so. I was welcomed back, literally with open arms, and the only thing anyone asked was if I'd been OK. What a great Fellowship.
Welcome, Ravern. i took a 4 year sabbatical and did some intense research on how NOT to live ... now i know how NOT to do it, so i can now get back into AA and learn how i SHOULD live.
