Hi everybody,
Just want to check in for my next 24. I really do love these days of mine now. Friday's used to be my BIG drinking night. My husband went early for dinner & a meeting. Our son meetings & hanging with the friends in the Fellowship.
That meant me in my LUCY kitchen watching wedding tv shows and drinking my 2 bottles of Cabernet. Just writing that down is -UGH- the worst!
I am forever thankful and grateful to my HP for leading me to AA, and then shortly after, to this website and to you all.

I'm not completely sure how to broach this subject and have been super apprehensive about this, but I picked up Wednesday night. I am fine and it's only solidified my commitment to recovery even more. There is nothing there and I like my sober life too much. I am disappointed in myself and I'm sure I've disappointed everyone here which I am really sorry for, but I screwed up. However, I am recommitted to recovery. Vee's voice keeps on going through my head in with, "onward". Those days will keep building again and in the long-run, it's going to be a blip.
Neo-one of my favorite Vee sayings is that we do this together. Why not pour out what you have?

In my meetings I've heard, "We don't leave our wounded" I know that saying is for wars; I've also heard our addictions spoken of like a war too.
You really are a strong person Strat. Thank you, thank you for your honesty. We gotcha here and in our prayers.
Love & Hugs,
Bobbi

RBJ-it also took me a month until I felt normal again. As others have mentioned, the body is just repairing itself.
Thank you all so much for your support and understanding. I felt that I needed to be honest. I knew I was in danger for awhile. Some of it has been that I've felt lost for awhile since after my first year of sobriety. There has been this sense of failure for the past several months. The failure has nothing to do with sobriety, but with other things that were really important to me. It's just been hard. I should have communicated, but didn't. However, with the relapse, I've learned that there is nothing there in that alcohol induced haze that is worth it. Sober life is much better.

Once upon a time there was an insurance broker from San Diego who at 9:24 pm wanted 24 more hours of sobriety...
And she lived happily ever after.
