I'm sorry you drank. Next time you feel like drinking, come here and post first. Maybe we can talk you out of it.

Many of us faltered a time or two Orchid.
Do not give up.

Look at what you did to stay sober - what worked and what didn't - add more - get up dust yourself off and keep moving forward

It can be very frustrating, especially if you have made a firm and deliberate choice to stay sober. Maybe have a look at how you came to take that fatal first drink.
Where you irritated, restless or discontent before hand. Did you think seriously about it and deliberately change your mind - would that have been a sane decision based on what always happens? Did you not think at all, was it just a thoughtless moment? Pinning down what happens may be a help in selecting an effective solution.

You can do this. I am new to this too, and I don’t have a lot of support at home, so the first thing I do when the inklings come, when the voice calls, I come right on here and read and post. At this point in my recovery, I come on here 4 - 5 times a day. It does matter, and you matter. I hope you wake with a new resolve to quit, and not hopelessness. There is always hope the next day.

Sorry to hear that but like least said come on here to chat with us first before pricking up the first drink

Never quit trying to quit. Hope you feel ok tomorrow (or actually today).

I'm sorry that you drank, and I hope that you can get back on track. It's good that you came here and posted.

Start again tomorrow. Fall down seven times, get up eight. . .

, I’m glad you came here and posted, that shows that you want to get sober. It took me a while to finally get sobriety right, and I am so glad I never gave up. I have four years and four months (May 1) sober and life is so much better.<div><br></div><div>Keep reading and posting here, spend some time reading about plans that have worked for others on here.

Sometimes this leads to future success. It happened to me a couple times and I was finally convinced that I could never again touch a drop of alcohol. Trying to use willpower to control myself was out the window. I needed to completely surrender to the knowledge that once I drank anything could happen. Let us try this again Orchid! You can do it.
