I fell well and truly off the wagon again, so am starting from scratch. I started making progress with my drinking and with sorting my life out to some degree and "decided" a needed a break, so hit the bottle. Stupid. It's completely taken the shine off any progress I made.

It happens James. What's important is that you are here and that you are trying again. You didn't erase all the progress you made, you just learned that you need to be more vigilant next time. You can do this!

Hi James- This is just a side step in your journey. You are now better prepared to deal with your sobriety. You can definitely accomplish this if you set your mind to it. Take care.

That's how I felt yesterday too but dya know what? If anything its reaffirmed to me that I never want to drink again - it served nothing only to fuel me forward and I hope it's done the same for you. It's never nice admitting that you effed up but you could have easily not said a word and we wouldn't have known. Your being responsible and being honest and that has to be one of the keys to this. Your making yourself accountable. It takes guts to come back with your hands up! Good for you and let's make this your last day 1 hey?

That alcoholic part of our minds is a sneaky conniver, isn't it? Glad you found your way back in here today. I highly suggest joining and being active in the "September 2013" club here. I know the fellowship from the July club has been instrumental in my recovery so far. Maybe next time you'll be able to post in here first before you take that drink.

Me too. Got up to five days, then fell apart again.

So it's day #1 for me today.

Give me the strength to get through the late afternoon and evening....

James, "stupidly" implies a mental condition. You have a physical condition triggered by one drink. (I am saying this to me too). "Allergy" comes the closest-think of it like that.

I am, and I am here with you :-). Let's do this together.
