I was doing so good. Feeling human again.till last night. Had a good day,but got upset when my glasses broke. So I rewarded myself by thinking only a few.....but it didn't stop there. I ended up on the floor,messed myself up pretty good. I blacked out. I dnt remember. Thank god my husband was there. I'm so upset,and disgusted with myself. So I'm back on day 1 again. I need this to stop. I'm really trying hard.

Hang in there!

You can learn new and healthy ways to deal with life.

I know that blacking out is super scary. Know for sure that you don't have to go through that again.

Glad your back. It took me a while ( one year) to finally get sobriety.

Keep your head up and keep moving forward.

All you can do is work on staying sober for today.Try to recognize the thought process you went through when you glasses broke and your mind went to drinking. Make a plan so that next time something happens you can redirect your mind to focus on something else besides goes to thoughts of drinking.

You can do this! We all have our set backs, it is how we handle those setbacks that make the difference.

It stopped for me when I surrendered and committed to AA... and it wasn't a G.D. walk in the park.

Please Google and read AA's "The Doctors Opinion", "How It Works" and "The Promises of Alcoholics Anonymous". See if you identify with what's being said.

I wish you the best.

I'm glad your husband was there and you weren't hurt. We learn new ways to cope with stress and frustration, then this never has to happen again.

Don't beat yourself up too much raja I know you must be really disappointed with yourself, but what is done is done and now it's time to start again! Just keep plodding on - you can beat this!

you can do this raja - just think about what you need to add this time...do you need support?
more strategies for stress?
a way to cut the panic/frustration/anger and reach out for help instead?

i know the feeling, they are expensive as hell to replace.

i lost or damaged mine a lot while drunk. one time, thought i lost em when i wiped out on my bike. looked and looked for em, for a few hours every night for about a week. found them around 2 months later in the couch(must have passed out wearing them). just brought back memories of one of my many drunken experiences.

Hi Raja. I blew last night too and have spent the day cursing myself. I thank you for posting. Hopefully we can learn from screwing up and do better.

Raja,

it sounds like you want to give up and need to give up. I could not stop on my own, it was impossible. I am sober 19 months now with the support of AA and SR.
If you are serious about stopping you need to find a program.

All the very best on this journey.

Hey raja & Pork. As other have said - pick yourself up and start again. There's a learning curve to almost everything - you gotta just keep trying and learn from the slip ups. Keep posting
