Hi Lovecat,

I'm sorry things have gone badly, but you must try again. That is all we can do is get up and continue. Giving up is not an option.

Lovey,

You will never fail unless you stop trying.

Hi Lovecat, don't beat yourself up to much.

Aquitter never wins, and a winner never quits.

You had a slip on the road, if you don't wuit trying

you are a winner....love hope3

Lovecat, I am new at this also
I read back on your posts, VERY similar to mine, I have "failed" many times, but I keep coming back and getting support and trying some meetings, and reading, and each relapse gets fewer and further between, I love the day to day thing, it gets me through
I actually hosted a party this weekend(a drinking party) and I drank coffee
But as the night went on , I kept thinking, minute by minute, minutes turn into hours, then days
keep trying!!!! failure does not mean you have failed, it means to start your next day new and sober, trying once again!!!

Life is just a sleigh ride...it's the walk back up the hill that gets ya!

Lovecat...as I understand it, the only failure is in not ever trying.

I think it's all been said above. A slip isn't a failure, losing hope might be.

Try again....support seems to come from the strangest places sometimes

There are no failures here, only real people with a common problem. We all need to lean on each other to make it through the day/hour/minute...never quit, quitting.....Bug Cyber Hugs are on their way to you...can you feel um?

hi lovecat, back on the bus you go.

remember, success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.



be happy

Lovecat alcohol may have won this battle, but you can win the war, every single day sober is a victory over the beast, I know it sounds stupid, but just do not drink today and you have won the battle.

Hi Lovecat

I have been sober a month but halfway through I slipped and drank for 2 days, that's all it was-a slip.
It would have been possible to think I had failed at the time but that would have made so depressed I might have carried on drinking.

Do you see what I mean?

We all fail. Don't be so hard on yourself.
