Well I have been gone for sometime, did well then became complacent then went down the rabbit hole HARD. On day two now, just eating nutrient dense foods eggs, steak, vegetables cause I went to about 2-3 weeks there barely eating anything but drinking copious amounts of wine.

It seems to get worse each time doesn't it. I'm glad you're back here and sober and taking care of yourself.

gypsytears

Glad you made it back. Don’t forget to stay hydrated.

Glad that you are back. What plans do you have to address complacency going forward?

freedomfries

Glad you're back. You can do it this time.

I am glad you are too! I am on day three and it's rough. It definitely gets harder to mange and to stop. In it together! xx

Welcome back. Like an old-timer used to say to me, "Well, have you had enough yet ********?" ... lol

Orchid1

Anna it sure does! and thank you.

Gypsytears Thank you and I am!

Nez thank you, to be honest I thought I was "cured" and didn't appreciate the permanent nature of this fight, which I may have avoided thinking of because it seemed so daunting of a task but in reality its just like how I have to keep on top of my bills, eye care e.t.c, point is there are things I will have to deal with for the rest of my life and being female there are things unique to my gender that we deal with for a good chunk of life that you adapt to. So that is my change I think, this is a rest of my life "chore/challenge/struggle/obligation?" not something I can just live life without precaution.

Freedomfries thank you I'm sure I can and so can you

Gabe it sure is! IN THIS TOGETHER!!!!

BABM am I the ******* in this scenario?

Orchid - Be proud of yourself for coming to this conclusion. Admitting what needs to happen is hard, but you sound ready.
We're going to do this.

Hi Orchid Glad you came back!!
It's good to hear that you're staying hydrated. When I joined SR, that was the best piece of advice as it really helps to flush out the toxins. Also warm baths or showers, a heating pad, & herbal tea works wonders. Keep going and keep posting

Lovingly, yes. The term is a joke, but the question is dead serious...have you had enough yet? I know that I came crawling back time after time, but in my heart I wasn't sure I'd had enough yet. I had to really suffer, to really reach a point of desperation. The idea of drinking had to be far worse than the idea of making changes that would allow me to live sober. I hope you are desperate.

That says it all---right there.
Keep that positive attitude going.

How are you getting on today? I am on day 4 and my body still feels broken. I think my heart has started to repair itself though. Hope you are doing okay too xxx
