I'm back
With my tail between my legs, I've been reading on here for a while again, never getting the courage to write anything, but I have to stop this madness again before it stops me, I'm like a big bloated frog, and generally unwell from this stupidity

Thank you Dee and Billy, I feel a bit more positive by just writing that, I had 3 months before Christmas and made it into the new year with lots of sober time then I just fell back into the booze, had days off here and there but as of the last month its everyday, madness that it is x

One thing I did on this quit was to make SR my homepage. So every time I wanted to go-online, I would have to go through SR to get there. I believe it helped because in the past I noticed that when I stopped reading the forums plus other stuff I did or didn't do, I eventually relapsed.
It's still that way today.

Another unfortunate thing about going through SR to get to the interwebs is it "kind-of" forces/reminds me to read the relapse threads which reinforces my quit. Just wish I would have learned earlier to learn from others mistakes on this subject.

Boggle, welcome! Make sure that you keep posting! Watch out for the AV and it telling you to not post for whatever reason it makes up. Be prepared to guard against relapse and if it happens just get right back on. Stay here no matter what and post. Try to reframe your thinking to be more positive. Most people never seek help for their substance abuse so you are here and among the best as you are trying to quit and seeking help! We are all in your corner.

Hi Boggle. You learned something valuable - you feel horrible & it simply is not worth it. It's not fun, relaxing, or exciting. It brings only misery, confusion, & anxiety.
Now you have further proof of that - no need to ever start up again.
We are with you - hope you'll keep reading & posting.

Welcome back, Boggle. So you've done three months previously, it's doable! Yet this time, keep reading and posting here and don't listen to your AV that lies to you, saying you've done three months, so why not drink! If you can do three months, you can achieve that once more, and far, far surpass it, with support and dedication, indefinitely!

Thanks to you all for your kind reply, I'm just on day 2, yesterday I stayed busy, washing, cooking, you know, was a blessing to get to bed, although not much sleep, I am grateful that I made it a day, x
