It's never too late....

Whatever has happened, you can move forward. Cut that chain around your ankle (booze). Set yourself free!!

You’re not screwed. You’re back and that’s a good start. What’s been going on since you last posted?

I was reading an older thread today and this was part of it. Your post made me think of it.

This Will Pass

Breathe. You’re going to be okay.

Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived.

Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience.

I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.

Welcome back Mummyto2
What have you been doing differently this time?

I'll copy paste the comments I made previous thread of yours:

'You need to accept outside help and make real changes to your plan. I believe your answer to me once was 'I'm adding to my plan as I go' or something like that, but you didn't really say WHAT you were adding.

A solid plan and a desire to be sober more than being drunk will put you on the road to success.'

Welcome back, Mummy.
You're not screwed until you lose your capacity to try.
Clearly you have that because you're here.

Glad to see you posting again! I’ve been thinking about you lately.

Last I recall you were going to rehab? How’d that go?

You have gotten sober before so you know you can do it.

And you got those kiddos who need you. It’s hard but I know you can get through it. Let us know what’s going on. We’re here for you.

Sorry to hear Mum. You are one of my contemporaries and I often wonder how you are doing.

Nothing changes if nothing changes, though I know you know that. Welcome back.

Welcome back, Mummy. I was wondering what had happened to you, and was worried. Let us know why you think you're screwed and I'm sure you'll get loads of wonderful advice. I really am glad you are back, my dear. You deserve happiness and a decent, dignified life.
