Can I come back and join please ?
Been here so many times.....I don't think I can do it.
The longest time I have in sobriety is when I'm with you guys on here …. as soon as I leave and think I can go it alone …. my old friend the "red wine" wins …..

Shenzy,
I use this site to hold myself accountable.
I learned here that us addicts have chronic brain damage.
Now that the physical addiction is gone, the mental burdens me all the time.
I crave every day, but I feel so amazing I will never drink again.
The healing has taken years so far.
Thanks.

Hi Shenzy.......I joined in 2014 also. My relapses occurred when I didn't nurture my sobriety. As the days went by, I always found something else to do rather than check in and read the posts or to provide support to others where I could. Also, I didn't have a solid plan. For me, the farther away from SR that I got, my AV gained strength. Recently I didn't have internet for 4 days and I was almost in panic mode. Fortunately I was at least able to log into the 24 hour thread with my phone. Stay close to SR, Shenzy. It will help. Rooting for you.
Yes Shenzy - we are always welcome to come back!
I think I'm in the same boat as you and I need to keep trying too. It's hard but we can do it. We can support each other. I' m so glad you came back xxx

The door for recovery always swings both ways and always will. The nature of addiction is that people are in and out. It takes what it takes. Get knocked down 10,000 times get bk up 10,001.
The key trait for successful people (success can be whatever you want it to be) is resilience.

Thank you so much everyone for all your posts.
Sitting here feeling quite emotional. I don't feel like I deserve anymore support.
Gabe - how are you doing ?
Soberista xxxx - I've thought about you many times - how are you ?

You absolutely deserve support Shandy, it took courage to post after a relapse but you did and that is encouraging.
The sticky thing about grace is never earning it (if we earn it, it simply isn't grace at all, it's a reward). Nope - the tricky bit is accepting it. And then starting to extend it to others so we can live in it. And theres no better place to be sober than in the flow of grace.
I've never met you, but I know that you are loved. You deserve to be sober - happy, joyous and free. All of us do.
Wishing you all the best for your sobriety and recovery.

Did we lose you after the Edinburgh weekend? Im good thanks. Life has become very enjoyably busy. Stick with it Shenzy! The rewards come and they are worth it.
