I Hit A New Bottom! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

tiburon88 · 02-09-2008, 08:10 AM

I think I am going to start listening to folks at meetings now. I relapsed for 1 day after 4 months of sobriety. Some of you may know that I have a love/hate relationship with AA. When I was sitting in a tiny jail cell with 2 other guys all I kept thinking was, "why didn't I go to a meeting?" I was charged with 3 different mis- deamenors from being wasted at a casino. I was high on xanax and about 16 beers. I was given a extremely high bond because I was from out of state. I will never forget this bottom. When I was in jail I was not given my anti-depressant medication either. I haven't had a sponser in about 2 years. I need a sponser. I am very grateful for being sober today.

My heart goes out to you. I'm glad you're ok....it could have been worse right? So good for you for coming back here and knowing you need to get a sponsor.
Hang in there and try your hardest to stay sober today.
One day at a time.

I'm sorry to hear of your replapse and troubles Tiburon. Perhaps you'll receive more support and responses if you post on the main forum? Just a suggestion.
