Just checking in on day 4! I made it through the weekend by keeping busy.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't understand this thing about labeling yourself as a "chronic relapser"??? Seems like by taking on this label, a person is saying "this is what I am, and I have accepted it"

How about a little more positive thinking?

I pasted that into my post because I just wanted to address it. I don't think the title of this thread has any negative qualities in it. I definately consider myself a "chronic relapser", at least I have been for about a year. I've been telling myself every few weeks or so that I'm not going to drink anymore, and it just hasn't worked.
I don't think TommyK meant this to be a negative label on any of us, but I think it's a pretty accurate label of what I am at the present, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who can relate to this.

I'm off to school - everyone stay sober today! I'll be back on this afternoon.
