I'm sorry Popov, for your loss.

Begin again and learn from your lapse. There will always be a reason to drink/use, if you look for one. You can do this!

Don't beat yourself up about it. You made it back--that's all that matters.

Life is tough at times. It is all about learning to deal with life's ups and downs without using. It is doable. I was shown the way by others who learned before me. Never give up...

Sorry to hear it Popov, you must be kicking yourself in the butt today. Just do it again and don't feel too guilty.

Sorry about the loss of your friend.

Popov, I was wondering about you. I'm really new here, and the other night I read you first post and it really touched me. I was going to ask how you were doing but do not want to come across as nosey.
I'm sorry you've relapsed. Gosh I can't count how many times I have. A loss of a friend is a terrible thing, and I am sorry but that is a tough one to deal with sober.
I'm on day 4 so far but am going to face some challenges tonight...we shall see how it goes. Please don't be too hard on youself.
Tomorrow is a new day...( I know it's cheesy) but I have to remind myself that all the time. Hope to see you around here!

HUGS

Jen

We do what we know. All I knew was to turn to alcohol when I was hurting, scared or confused. Now, I can turn away from it. I thoroughly understand that alcohol solves nothing, but causes me more grief and misery. Look towards those that have found sobriety and ask them how they did it. They have worked through their pain and obstacles and have found a sober way of life. I used to think that was an impossible task for me, but thank goodness I was wrong.

Pick yourself up dust yourself off and do the drill every day, for me that is (don't pick up, pray, meetings and talk to my sponsor and other members) I spend time with members who I respect and have been around a long time and learn from them.

Its simple really, just for today don't pick up and on top of that life opens up.

Thanks again for your support all! It has now been 24 hours since I finished what I hope will be my last bottle of vodka....I did not sleep and thought I was going to die in that hang over. Trully, I hated every single drink, the days I was clean made me realize that I do not need that taste in my mouth and that feeling the next day...Since I was off yerstewrday when this all happened I drank at 10:00.am. and did not miss work, but was tempted to buy another bottle last night for 'my hang over's sake'. Well I did not, and layed down to see demons and hours of suffering tossing and turning ...my nerves are shot...just ate a banana for the pottassium and am drinking some water before I have to leave for work at noon...Thanks again...I hate the way I feel today...

I always tried to out run the hangover. I think the only thing I was really doing was prolonging it. It's tough to out run a freight train. Good luck at work today. I'll be thinking of you. There were countless times where I suffered at work due to a hangover. I told myself I wouldn't do it again and there I would be once again. I felt so defeated and worthless. I hated it... The good news is: There is a solution.
