soberbythesea

Don't feel ashamed and DON'T use it as an excuse to go on a weekend long bender. I don't know what happened or what you did, but whatever it was, you can stop instead of continuing.

Sapling

I don't think you're the first one to do that...I think I'd take it from this approach...What can I do different this time that might work better...Got any ideas?

There's no need to stay away.

We do understand how hard this is, and we are here for you.

Two steps forward, one step back, Stevie. Stick around and let your head clear. No need to turn this into something huge.

Sapling

The best thing you can do is stop right now....Dump out what you have...Read here...Ask questions....Figure out what you are going to do. You with me on that?

Frenzy

That's rotten for you..you were doing so well. Don't feel disheartened, get back on track tomorrow, just see it as a blip only.

I'm not willing to let you toss in the towel...I want you to fight for yourself! Don't use a slip to allow the insanity to continue. Get over it...literally! Put the voodo down and come back. Good love...mags

Sapling

I'm not big on waiting for tomorrow...Tomorrow never comes.

Frenzy

Yeah,tomorrow was so the wrong thing to say,stop right now,you need to stop right now, throw away your stuff, its not too late

Sapling

I played that tomorrow game for two years....It's a no win. Trust me.

Stevie, keep reading and hopefully posting. Shame is so damaging I felt it for years regarding my alcoholism and my weight. It's ok. We have all fcuked up. Always remember you can start over and change your future at any minute, there is always hope and better times to come. Start now.

If you don't post I hope that you will read and know that we all believe you can do this.

At least you KNOW now that payday is a real trigger and you'll know to spend the whole week after it on here with us

You might want to quit your reliance on will power. For the alcoholic there is a “queer mental condition surrounding that first drink" that "prevents normal functioning of the will power”. Try reading the basic text for AA Big Book On Line
It may help.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Stevie. I just posted in the thread about people still drinking...I saw your post, and was hoping it wasn't you. But, I give you credit for owning up to it and not just throwing in the towel.

You know, we see people come back to the rooms of AA after a relapse...and, we're always grateful they've made it back. It's no different here at SR. But, what of the people who disappear, and we never see them again? I'm always afraid that someone will have one too many relapses...we never know.

I posted on SR for a few years. For some reason, I got involved in other things and got sidetracked. I wonder if those who remembered me when I came back might have thought I'd relapsed or died. At any rate, it was so gratifying to be remembered and welcomed back.

We try to stay sober One Day At A Time, no matter how many 24's we manage to put together. Your 24 hours can begin right now, Stevie. I look forward to seeing you at the HATZ thread!!!

Stevie - We believe in you and we know you can kick this thing. I drank for a lifetime, and I made it out. You can have a whole new life - let's try this again. Never give up!
