Bad News.. I slipped

Good news... I did not fall down!!

I was Maid of Honor at friend's wedding last night and I drank. Good news. I remember the entire event! No blackout! I left early and am here today!!

So, back to day one.. But that is ok! I did not indulge my relapse... I have not bought any wine and I am not drinking alone!!!

Glad you got back. For me having similar slips it was a defeating process because shortly afterwards I'd start thinking stinking thinking like "see I can handle it IF, I'm really not that bad, I'll only have ..... and on and on. We can't be honest with ourselves and defend what we end up doing. Defiantly I did what I wanted and the results usually turned out unhealthy until I totally surrender to the fact that I can't drink ANY alcohol in safety. BE WELL

You know, I think "NOW" is for all of us. Met with my new AA sponsor this morning (she has 2 years+ after many relapses) and she told me that HER last sponsor drank after 15 years.

This dis-ease never leaves us, and it is a minute by minute time. Let's all do this.

I agree, Pamel. Thank-you. I will never go back to where I was. It is not an option for me and it is no way to live. I have too much to be grateful for and alcohol steals it all away...
