I joined this site about 2 months ago with a different username. I was doing well I got up to 18 days and had a slip up for 2 days. I gave in because I felt so upset over a few people in my life,I just couldn't shake the feeling I'm still feeling like an emotional wreck. Today is my day 1 again. I just want to beat this addiction even if it's all I ever do.

welcome back gettingbetter

do you have a plan this time to deal with people who upset you?

I need to find healthy habits and to stop being so impulsive,the next I feel angry,hurt or sad I need to remind myself drinking is not and will never be the answer. Addiction is such a sick thing.

That sounds like a good plan.

Hi Gettingbetter, and welcome back.

Good to meet you. I joined on right after Christmas. Glad you came back.

I have found that the addictive voice speaks loudly through relationships. Put yourself and your sobriety before everyone else during this early stage is very important. (((hugs)))

Glad you're back giving it another go.

Welcome back gettingbetter and we're glad you didn't give up for good! I agree with MamaGoat, relationships (especially unhealthy, volatile ones) led me to drink SO many times. Drinking on top of those situations literally made me insane, it was awful! I've decided to step away from a few situations, at least for now, until my mind is clear enough to figure out what's good and what's not.

Good luck to you!

I really need to stop beating myself up over people who don't care about me. I would rather deal with my problems with a clear mind, I have kept some really negative toxic people in my life who seem to only make me feel bad and make me want to drink.

Welcome back GettingBetter. This is at least my third time here (previous times under different name too). Don't stop trying you'll get there

MamaGoat

Surround yourself with people in recovery. Get away from negative, toxic people as much as you can. List them and make a plan for each one on how to sever the relationship.
If you are beating yourself up...use a feather duster.
