Mr H

Morning guys n girls,
as you can probably tell from my post title I've been off planet sober for a while, not a total white wash but when i look back i was either drunk or just counting down between days to getting drunk.
I hope you are all doing better than i am, though im back at it now.
Had my drying out day / night yesterday which was hellish as always, got no sleep last night and this morning im back at work locked in my thoughts mulling over what ive done, said, spent, drank etc....same old same old.
Few bruises to account for falling like a clown but other than that im i one peice, physically that is.
Looking forward to getting another 24 hours between me and my last drink, feel like a large looser at the moment

Welcome! Glad to see that you made it back. Keep moving forward in your recovery. :atv

Mr H

Thank you

Congratulations Mr H for Day One, and welcome back. I'm only just ahead of you on Day 3. What made you fall off planet sober? I slipped up after a good few weeks in Jan/Feb - just because I managed to persuade myself that I was not an alcoholic and could drink sensibly like everyone else. What a bad move that was! But hey, back again, with a little more insight this time. Have a good Day 2.

Mr H

Pretty much the same as what happened to you, convinced myself and my wife that i could drink sensibly and got caught in abit of a downward spiral.
You dont see it when your on the inside do you?

Glad to know you are re starting your healthy new life.

What is your plan this time?

Mr H

One day at a time
Posting on here
Being more honest with my friends and more importanly wife
Talking to someone as soon as im wanting a drink
Being honest with myself and feeling pride in being a recovering alchoholic

GreatEscape

Sounds good Mr H - I think honesty and talking are really important - especially with your wife. It should make it more difficult to justify any thoughts about it being OK to have "just one or two". I still find it hard to say that I am an alcoholic - even in print! But I make myself do it as a reminder that I can't go back ....only forwards!

Catch you later

Welcome back Mr H!! Glad you're back. With so much loving support it's a bit easier to come off the sauce and back to a sober life.:ghug2

Mr H

True indeed

I hope that you have a Recovery Plan in place this time.

I highly encourage you to go to AA/NA Meetings, get phone numbers,(and use them!) get a temporary Sponsor until you find someone who you are comfortable enough with to ask to be your Sponsor.This is crucial. We need to have people we can call when those feelings come creeping up on us and bite us in the butt! This disease will lie in wait for just the right time to move in and try to bring you back into it's deadly grips.

Don't go through this alone.

An alcoholic/addict who thinks they can do this by themselves is just biding time until they pick up again.

You're not a loser.

You're an alcoholic.

Please stop beating yourself up for relapsing. I know from past experience that this only lead me back out. Let go of the guilt, let go of the shame!

Keep Coming Back, It Works if You Work It!
