Angry 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
