I'm back

After drinking again for a little over a year, I am on day 2. Any suggestions for this go around?

Welcome back!

I wonder what changes you made in your life besides stopping drinking?

Believe in yourself and that you can do this.

Anna, glad to see you're still around living the dream. Actually my question was probably rhetorical. I continued to live with an active drinker, failed to make changes I made stick, fell back into a BS pattern of needless drama and got comfortable with it. Sort of a chasing the dragon thing. Thanks for helping me focus. This site was a key component of what made it work while it worked.

One of the most helpful things to my recovery is remembering how I felt the last day I drank and how horrible detoxing was. I know I never have to feel that way again.....if I don't take that first sip.

Welcome back

Hi Elegant It's never too late to try again! It took me many tries to get where I am today. I once gave up and drank for over a year just like you. I've got 7 months now and life is good. What brings you back here? Did something happen?

Toxic Codie Alch related relationship. Thought I could change other people and reverted back to some bad behaviors. Began drinking again to escape and procrastinate doing anything else (my humble and pathetic self - analysis). Time to kick it into gear. Day 2 and counting and time for a plan. Hi Smacked and Surley; hope all is well with you guys.

Welcome back!

After my last relapse I decided to give up and try AA. That's made the difference this time around.

I just wanted to say Welcome, as for suggestions.. do you have a plan? What do YOU plan on doing different so you can succeed at continuous sobriety?
