Hi bluewaters,
I'm not doing much better so not really in a position to give advice. However, on this site somewhere is a thread about urge surfing. It's really helpful.

Hang in there!

Lillian took a tumble in her sobriety. Ever lose a map when someone opens the car window?....WOOSH! That's where over four months of sobriety just went. So....day 1. Starting all over yet again. I'm an idiot.

Here we go though. I am committing to 24 hours of sobriety here at 7:30 pm in San Diego. The earth will turn and I will watch it with eyes wide open...with a melancholy but grateful heart.

When I relapsed in 2014, after being sober for a year and a half, I felt like that too Lillian ~ whoosh, there goes a year and a half, out the window. But Dee, and others here reminded me that wasn't true...we get to keep all of the knowledge and experience we gained along the way, allowing us to make our recovery even stronger.

Thank you Suze ~ really appreciate your insight and warm thoughts....and the hug. Especially the cyber hug.

So here's one back. You're right. I learned a lot since April.

And tomorrow there will be a smile on my face. It's a little lost tonight, but I know it's in here somewhere. Oops, there it is.
