Thanks everyone. 16 days now and still sober. I feel better everyday that passes, last night I finally slept like a rock.
Has anyone else noticed that the anxiety, insomnia and other withdraw symptoms get worse with each relapse? This time around was fricking awful and I was sober 2 years!!

You can turn your back on Mother Alcohol but she's always waiting to take you in her arms.

Hi Harley. Thanks for this and glad you came back. Your thread is especially important to me because I am coming up on 2 years sober next month. This serves as a reminder that it's never safe for us to drink again. Ever.

I'm very grateful that you posted this. I am almost to 6 months and have had thoughts of drinking during some upcoming business travel. Your post about going back out has given me a lot to think about. I really appreciate it.
I don;t think anyone ever really loses 2 tears or whatever amount of sober time - all you learned and accomplished is still there...all your growth is too.
The only way to really lose it is to be deliberately wilful - to take this one wrong turn back into old behaviour and make it the new normal again.
That's madness....

When we relapse, although some of us may have to turn the count back, what we learned in that time of sobriety is never lost. In fact, there's a very crucial moment in there we need to carry with us forever. That is what led us to give in and what we need to do in order to never repeat that process.

No I wasn't actually sponsoring anyone while I was sober but I spent a year trying to help a friend who is alcoholic. I have another post about that on here. I ended up losing that friend recently after i relapsed and then got sober again.
