Well, I'm a mess
During my procedure, (Monday) I was given 2 injections. Happy juice of some sort.
I took a taxi home as they won't let you drive.
I got home, got in my car and straight to the package store. Don't pass go?
Don't know if it was entirely the drugs but I'm a mess right now.
Feel pretty crappy too.

I agree with Carol, plus.......
Ask your higher power to take over, read the Big Book and, if it works for you, keep posting. It worked for me after a short relapse.
It sounds like the drugs allowed you to let your defences down.
Hang in there -- it will be OK!

I've already made some calls and ratted myself out.
A friend from the program came by and sat with me for a while.
I'm feeling pretty low right now but I'll be OK.
I was pretty scared about the procedure I had as the cat scan showed a tumor. Amazingly nothing was there. Me Man, Strong Man, can handle this by myself, or so I thought.
I should have had someone from the program go with me and stay until the meds wore off. Lesson learned...

NO, you're NOT! You had an incredible sober run and you can have it again. You have a different perspective - and remember how happy and proud you have been all this time.
It is just an unfortunate slip, given the circumstances.

The seed was planted a while ago. You have already done what so much people fail to do when they have fallen, you have already gotten back up. Listen to what your sponsor says, and start hitting the meetings.
I'll pray for ya.

To my friend Tedifer
Well, Groucho the Cat, you reached out and called the right person who whether you believe it or not, will be here for you 'til the end of the earth. Love ya. You got me to register on this site and now I am writing you a note to tell you how important you are. We went through the first 3 steps on the phone before your sponsor came to get you to take you to a meeting. Now we only have to look to get through the next 24 hours. Ask HP, keep asking HP and ask HP some more. And then call me again and if I'm not back from my student's lesson yet, call again.
You somehow are doing the right thing. Alcohol, even though it provides some kind of temporary release for our poor pained brain cells and thus we crave it, is a direct depressant and that is why you feel so horribly, painfully bad right now. We just have to get through 24 hours, you know. And we will, together. And with the help of all the friends you have made here.

Ted... just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. Sorry for your slip, but glad to hear the medical stuff is fine. Don't beat yourself up... you said yourself: lesson learned! You have had a good stong run of healthy sobriety already so just get back on track and continue to add to it .

You're doing just fine Ted, we saved a seat for you, just keep coming back, OK? I admire your honesty and your willingness to give sobriety another try.
