Fell off the wagon
Hi every one......well here I am looking for some online support.......I fell off the wagon last week after 3 1/2 months of sobriety and it really stung.......Instead of saying I am 100+ days sober....I can now only say that I am 3 days sober.....
So here I am sitting dealing with the withdrawal symptoms now...and I wish I remembered how much I hated them....the anxiety, insomnia and the shaking of my hands...I am just trying to relax and get through them. I have already taken some supplements such as B-1, B-12, Magnesium, Selium, Vitamin C and few others to help my body start to heal.
I wish I didn't fall off the wagon, but I know I am not perfect. And now I just need to pick myself up and put one foot forward...I also need to remember that some days are going to be easier than others...
I hope to be able to not only get support here but also support others. I look forward to chatting soon...
Take care,
chaotic

Hi Chaotic - you are back at it, on Day 4, and although you drank, you did accomplish 3 1/2 months of sobriety. Feel good about that. The past is gone and all you can do is look ahead and move forward. What has really really helped me this time (and I say this time, because I'm back at it too, just like you and many of us here) - is that I am not about to forget how horrible those hungover, withdrawal symptoms felt. When I was laying in bed, not sleeping, waking up shaky and feeling sick, I told myself I never want to feel that way again and you know what? I don't have to and neither do you. Maybe you needed that reminder to really do what you need to do to stay sober this time. (and you will feel better!)

You made it to 3 months- you can do that again, then longer. Use what happened last week as a learning experience and put it behind you.

Well the great news is that you have a great opportunity to start fresh again. 3 months is SO IMPRESSIVE. Just out of curiosity - was this casual drinking or binge drinking? I am newly clean and I am scared of going through withdrawal again - and I'm wondering what it would take to trigger withdrawal again..? Maybe you can help educate me so that I can avoid that going forward. (I realize everyone's body reacts differently).
Please keep up the good work! You've accompished so much and when you have a craving again, come back and read this thread and remember why you are staying away from booze! best of luck to you - stay in touch we are here for you.
