I am new to this, not good with technology, anyway needed to do this today.
Had been 24 days sober, then yesterday I had a bottle of wine. Finished bottle and wanted more, luckily we didn't have any.
Today I am annoyed with myself and feel like I wasted the last 24 days and now have to start again. Day 1 and counting.
Hope, Strength, Love

Hi withinme

you posted in our Chat admin forum - so I moved your post here to Newcomers forum where you'll find more responses

I don't think your 24 days are wasted at all - not if you learn from them, and learn from your mistake yesterday.

Think of it as recovery 2.0

you've already added another element by joining this community - do all you can to make the outcome different this time

You will find a saying on here, "One drink is too many, 1000 is never enough". It's true for alcoholics like me.

Thank you all for your positive words, yes I will see this as a learning curve and a small blip on this road.
Thank you for being there, and for liking my user name took me three tries to find one that hadn't already been used, I like it too.
