Sadly I am back here!

Don't know if I am posting in the right place. Am not a newbie but have not posted in a long time, almost a year I think maybe more. I have longish periods sober ( a few months at a time and then think I have cracked it ) then long periods drunk. The sober periods have been gradually getting longer, but the drunk periods have been getting more and more intense. Just out of hospital with a double face fracture after falling over and smashing my face on the lounge tiles. Day 3 yet again now. Just wanted to say hello.

Glad you are back, fabat. I'm sorry you injured yourself. That's why I had to stop & stay stopped - I was putting myself in danger. Unpredictable things happened every time I took a chance & tried to have 'a few'. It's so much better to be free.

Welcome back Fabat, sorry to hear about your injury. Worse and worse things kept happening to me too, but there is a way to stop them completely. I hope you can stick around, congrats on day 3.

Your post reminded me when I had a drinking period about 12 years ago when I was falling all around, and I hurt myself in a pool without even remembering going swimming. It's so easy to forget all of those times. I have a little over 5 months now with my current sober period, and I am just trying to take it day by day.

Glad you are back.

I took a terrible fall and am lucky my face recovered. Take care of yourself as you heal and perhaps start a recovery program now?

My addiction doesn't like me to be on this forum, either. But, my addiction doesn't understand there are worse places it was going to lead me.

All of us against the addiction, I say. Welcome back to the fight.
