Thanks Dee..I just posted there! I need to make connections. As you know, right now I feel HORRIBLE!!! let my family down AGAIN and I feel like a trainwreck..The emotions that go with this (besides the miserable hangover) are so hard to take. I need to post daily if not more. SR worked for me when I did that. Thanks for always being there xo

Welcome back! Be gentle with yourself as you recuperate. Those 6 months aren't gone. You learned much in that time and you can definitely do it again and keep it going. Keep posting!

Welcome back, lovehoops! Remember you don't have to take that first drink today no matter what. Wishing you the best and hope to see you checking in often. Build those accountability muscles to yourself and others!

Hi lovehoops.

Great idea on coming back to SR (I too came back here with renewed vigor after drinking again in the past.)

Coming to SR daily and posting/interacting seems to work wonders for me.

I hope you are well today. Stick with us! We're here to help!

I'm 12 days sober after ANOTHER freaking relapse. Had to check in for detox (again) and am going to give AA a serious try this time. I always thought I was better than those who go to AA - but obviously I'm not. I've pretty much destroyed my marriage and will more than likely be divorced (after 30+ years) by the end of the year. I started taking Vivitrol which is supposed to stop the cravings. It's a once a month shot in the butt - so far, no cravings. I just want the hurt to stop. I feel like such a failure.

Hi Lovehoops,

I have had to come back after slipping several times. I am still working on recovery daily.

Glad you are back.;-)
