Hi all,

I made it to day 8 and then screwed up again...this was my second attempt to quit. I was feeling so healthy and doing well, why did I have to go and blow it?? It seems that stress and work anxiety are my most dangerous triggers. I thought it would be social situations but surprisingly, that didn't bother me so much as long as I had a diet coke or something non alcoholic to drink instead.

So here I am, back at day 1. Hoping I can do better this time.

Anyone have advice on how to handle stress/anxiety triggers? I'd love to hear some good ideas I can try!

Thanks for reading!!

My recovery required a lot of changes ..not drinking was simply
the beginning.

I too re started my sobriety .more than once ...until I learned how to
live sober via living the AA steps...

Have you checked out your local AA?
We specialize in hope...

Welcome. Im with Carol on this one. The drink is the symptom, I was the problem. Just sayin...

I'm with Carol and Stu: I had to change my Self in order to stay sober. I had to change my thinking, my attitude, my perspective - everything. I also learned that to be grateful for my blessings goes a long way in keeping me sober. I'm so grateful for all I'm blessed with that it would make no sense to mess it up by drinking, and I'm a very logical person. Gratitude gives me so many reasons to stay sober... and not one reason to drink.
