Had six beers last night. Wasnt going to mention it on here but if I can't be honest on here then I can't anywhere. Spent the evening in hospital after getting my jaw fractured as well. Lovely night. Anyway thought I'd fess up and start again

Damn. I have wondered if I ever relapsed, if I'd be honest about it. It would be hard...but I would do the same. Sorry to hear about the relapse and the hospital visit.

Are you working on a new plan to attack this monster? I think the best thing to do, now, is to brush off the relapse and look forward and focus on the future. Can't change the past.

I'm not that angry to be honest, disappointed but not angry. Wasn't a massive slip up but a drink is a drink. If anything it's strengthened my resolve as I didn't enjoy it one bit

Ouch. Glad you're back on board. I had a few "let's try this one more time" experiences myself, and it was never any better than I remembered it to be.

as they say in Monty Python 'And now for something completely different!"

I've learned that when tempted to drink/use, I should try something different, like recovery...and see what happens.

I applaud your honesty! Bummer about your jaw....I hope you heal quickly! I had to have some pretty hard lessons myself before I finally "got it" about my inability to drink....ever. Isn't it cool that we all understand what you are going through?!

Glad you're getting right back at it Bluebird. Too many of us let it become a several day slip and then feel even worse. You are nipping it the bud.

Thank you all. This place is great, as mentioned, you all understand what I'm going through and vice versa. It's hard at times as people close to me try to understand but can't really ever get it. Feel great that I can open up on here. Thank you all for your comments

Falling over is a fundamental component in the act of getting up again.

To succeed, all you need to do is get up just one more time than you fall over.

but, welsh beer? Ewe.

Bluebird1927

Yeah true mate. I'll get there.

Ewe is that a sheep joke ha ha.

Last fall I got into a little scuffle with a bouncer and eventually got knocked headfirst to the concrete sidewalk and suffered a minor concussion. I don't actually regret it at all and regard it mostly as a life lesson. But it goes to show just how easily a potentially life-altering event can happen while drunk. I don't usually act up like that while drinking but I was frustrated at the time.

Nobody's perfect. Dust yourself off and try again!

Get back on that sheep, I mean, horse, Bluebird! I'm sorry to hear about the jaw. Hope it heals quick.

Yeah it does clarify things a bit. Cheap shot from behind, I could have died.

Thanks June
