Well I lost my clean time last night. 3 1/2 months gone, poof. It's a powerful reminder to me that I am powerless over my addiction. I'm gonna pick up a white keytag today, I don't want to give up and stop working this program. Thanks for letting me share. Chris |

Chris, the important thing is not to give up. Takes a man to admit he made a mistake. I think, that's why so many people don't make it back. The doors are always open.

Chris, sad thing is, we gain from your pain. If you'd have came on here posting they got a new drug like th Huey Lewis song you'd have had to take orders. I'm the most up beat person I know. Once in a while, not often I feel the blues. Feeling bad is good. Why you ask? If I never feel bad, i sure as HE!! wont appreciate the all the good days GOD gives me. Just remember, let someone else come back in next time. You tried it and you learned by it and so did we

Thanks for the kind words everyone, I got a taste of sobriety and I want more. If I give up and stop going to meetings and stop everything that I've done then I'm through, I might as well hang it all up. I'm going to do 90 in 90 again. I'm going to get more phone numbers and I'm going to get a Sponsor. I guess the suggestions are there for a reason huh?  Chris |

Welcome back Chris. Never give up on sobriety. You may have picked up but you did not lose everything you learned in your 3 and a half months. The numbers are just a thing, it is what we do in those numbers that matter. Hang in there. Takes lots of courage to come back and you just made a huge step. Hope |

Thanks for sharing Chris. I didn't have the guts to tell when I fell. I admire you for that. Glad to hear that you aren't giving up, it sucks going back to day one. You won't be the last. Keep coming back and let us know how everything is going.

|  Big Guts yay! :congrats you're back... good for you and the doors are always open. Tip: Ego + Ego = 'separate from' Ego - Ego = 'part of' It was my Ego that kept me in relapse mode. Self-will run riot. That used to be me. A new pair of glasses is a good book - I learned about my ego there.  |

Hi, Chris, this is ChrisMan. If they ever give advanced degrees in wrecking one's own sobriety, I would have a double doctorate by now.  I can really relate to how you feel. But think about it, right now you are sober. Maybe just for 24 hours, or maybe a little less. But it all begins with just the present day. And that's the way it is done, one day at a time. I'm behind you all the way, buddy! ChrisMan

I want to thank everyone again for all your support. I'm doing fine, just trying to take one moment at a time. It was kinda awkward at the meeting tonight. I felt a lot of resentment from some members in my group. One guy even told me that he wouldn't be my friend if I kept on ******* up. I'm pretty sure he was joking, but it didn't help me feel any better. I'm still pissed that I screwed up, but I'm not going to stew in my own resentments, that'll only lead me away from the right path. I relapsed, I felt like ****, I never want to feel that away again. It was so disappointing. I'll feel twice as good if I can overcome this though. I can't give up, I don't have any other option. |
