I've been trying for 19 years and I am back at the begining again. 3 days now.

I have had 6935 days since my first AA meeting and say 35 days drinking. To be honest it could be 135 days.

Either way thats at least 6800 no drinking days.



Glad to have you here 19years! Welcome to SR.

I know how you feel. I;ve felt so weak to and depressed about wanting to get my life back on track for over three(3) yrs now. 9 months ago I was so down on myself i could not take it anymore [/U]I worried about how it affected the people that love me like my mom. But, above all I was hurting myself more and no-one knew how I felt but me. Finally I asked for help no-one could help me but me _ I enrolled in outpatient, attended meetings on a consistent basis - I relapsed too. I know it affected me but I got back on track I'm 86 days sober today and last week I was whining at my meeting about striving for the 90 day and how I was feeling the weak about relapsing last Tuesday and now I know that when I feel like that i can go and find a meeting or go to 31 flavors and buy some ice-cream instead. I also found this site it's so cool to have the support of people who know what it's like. Hang in there ok!
