I have not posted in awhile. I had a relapse. I think I was just lonely and depressed and let the AV talk too much. I feel better than I did 9 days ago. I was horribly hung over. I know I can remain sober, I have done it for long periods. But I think I need to work on other areas of my life to avoid another relaspe. Thanks SR for being here.

Do you have a solid recovery plan in place? That can help you avoid a relapse.

You're absolutely right, Jim. 9 days of sobriety is terrific and this is the time for making lifestyle changes that will support your recovery.

Jim,

At 9 days clean the physical addiction was still strong.

Booze had left my system so I was physically craving on top of the looming mental addiction.

Getting 30 days clean was a big deal. It was all mental at that point.

Calling the brain healing mental may not be the whole story. Since the brain is a large mass of tissue operating on electrical chemical impulses it is technically "physically" healing I figure.

This healing takes years. I am still a bit jacked up.

Thanks.
