Today is my Day 1 again. For the last time. I caved on my 13th day with both smoking and drinking...binged for 8 days and here I am now. I had avoided posting this because everyone had been so proud of me, and I felt pretty down about giving in to things. Now I am more determined than ever. My birthday is coming up in a day and I don't want to have another year of doing this. Truth is, I WAS happier being sober, I just didn't think I was.

Hi Rain,

The realizations in my signature below helped me...maybe they'll help you too

I've had a lotta day ones, believe me. You're not alone. Pick yourself up and start over.
Try remembering how you feel about the binge and think about where that first dink will take you.

Hang in there, and best to you.

I so hear you. So hear you.
May sobriety reign down on you in torrents
Your in here licking your wounds but you will never be shunned by anyone as we have been there (or are there, like me).
Get back on the horse hun and ride it like a trooper

I've been there too. My last binge lasted 5 days, 10 bottles of cheap sherry and tons of cigs. Then I spent a day throwing up from the side of my bed into garbage bags cause I knew I wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time. And nothing but bile and water came out cause I didn't eat anything.

Don't give up.
