Back again
 
8+ months of sobriety down the drain. I cannot fricking believe it. I drank everyday this week. Back on day 1.

Hi and Welcome back!

So, do you know why you started drinking again and how you can do things differently this time?

Good for you for coming back!

Taking5 11-09-2007 12:13 PM

I don't know. I have done this before - sober up for a while and then go back to the bottle. I get to thinking I have it licked. I am going back to AA tomorrow to pick up another beginner's chip.

Welcome back Dgillz! Glad to see you are back and try not to be to hard on yourself give yourself credit for at least knowing where you are and where you want to go! :hug:

Hang in there!

Sorry to hear of your relapse - but I'm glad you made it back to us.

Well - hopefully when denial rears it's ugly head the next time, you'll make different choices. I understand how hard it can be. I relapsed twice through the years, each time after 2+ years sober.

Welcome back.

I am laying in bed withdrawing.....muscle tics and spasms. Nothing anywhere near as bad as my last time, but I told myself I would never do this to myself again.

I am an idiot.

I will check in tomorrow on day 2.

Rowan 11-09-2007 02:50 PM

You're an idiot? Then join us on the Bottoms thread - not as busy on the weekend, mind, but we call ourselves idiots on that thread - in the nicest possible way.
Come hang with us and share what you're going through sometime.

:hug: Good to see you again...

ANGELINA243 11-09-2007 04:04 PM

Welcome back! Glad you are here! I've got 3+ weeks put together so far--this time. Don't beat yourself up about it. You made it back--that is what really matters--some of us (at least a few people I know) haven't been so lucky.:praying

Hi dgillz :). Sorry for your replapse... but it's nice to see you back and staring over. What Ro said. Bottoms is the place for idiots ;).

Surlyredhead 11-09-2007 05:10 PM

Well, that just sucks!!! Good news is, you can get those 8 months and a whole lot more!!!! Don't beat yourself up, you came right back...every relapse I had (and I had a few) took me out for a year or more......I am pulling for you.

Success is falling down seven times but getting up eight (or something like that) You got up -- good for you!

Midnight. I slept a little. Actually surprised me. I still feel like poop though.

barb dwyer 11-09-2007 10:08 PM

dgills-

I'm glad you're able to make it back. So many don't make it.

Glad to hear you're going to a meeting.

discoveringme 11-09-2007 10:23 PM

dgillz: Its been 17 days for me, and I still do not sleep more than 3 or 4 hours at a time. I have always had trouble sleeping but much worse now. They say it gets better!!! Keep posting, we all care!

Missymae737 11-10-2007 04:10 AM

Hi,

Glad you made it back to us...:morning

Keep posting, you can do this...

lostmdboy 11-10-2007 04:31 AM

Hope you are feeling better. I always figure that I am just one beer away from that life of hell. Just making it one day at a time.
