Unfortunately I'm legitimately re-entering this thread.

Cola Girl,

Oh no.........****!

Can you share (I know now is probably not the time because you're feeling so down) but why this happened? Is 30 days a trigger? I'm so rooting for you. You'll get back at 30 and you've learned a lot. Hope I haven't put my foot in it. I'm disappointed for you. I know you must be feeling down about this. I know from relapses I've at least learned what doesn't work. I'll shut up now..........

sorry colagirl but get right back up - it's the only way...

look at what happened - try and not make the same mistake/s again, and move on

Ksplash5 - I don't know. I just want to say that I am so proud of you!!!! You're posting away and being supportive and honest and staying sober. Thanks!

Keep trying again! Never give up!!

Cola Girl...I just read your post on the relapse thread and I'm sorry that you had a rough time with your family. I could so relate to staring at the glass and thinking, should I or shouldn't I? The Committee in our head... When I have relapsed, I too, knew exactly what I was doing. So, thank you for helping me to feel "normal".

Anyways, you are back with us and we never stop trying, ever. We will do this, we really will.

Hugs!

Some people really do get hung up on this stuff. So yes...Your first day, DAY ONE, is Thursday. August 7th, 2008. Congratulations!

I took my last drink at 10:00am on May 9th as I was riding a bus home from the rehab place I had tried to get into that day. I just happened to look at the clock when I took it. (Oh crap..or was it 11:00am?)

So May 10th was my first full day of sobriety. (And I got into the program that day!)

DAY 6...i'm in the recovery mode

checking in to the chronic thread....glad to hear how others are doing today and of all your sucesses and challenges. thanks for you sharing your hope and experience and strength.

hideorseek...Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I think sometimes knowing that we aren't alone in the struggle helps so much.

Day 2, and I'm feeling great. It's rainy and gross out...but I'm surprisingly happy and content today. I'm feeling positive... I hope this stays!

Hi.. This is my first time posting... I am on Day 2. I am kinda freaking out right now, although I'm not craving a drink right now. My fiance (who I live with) will be at work until tomorrow night. Yesterday we went grocery shopping and he bought a bottle of gin and a 6 pack of Guinness... they're just sitting in the freezer and fridge, respectively. While I'm not craving right now, I KNOW I will be tonight and I'm trying to think of ways to distract myself ahead of time. I'm new to this area and have zero friends to go be with.
This is my first try for sobriety where I've acknowledged to someone (this board being the someones) that that's what I'm doing. I know now that I'm not going to be able to do it on my own. (PS please no one tell me to find God, I'm an atheist.)

As one who was in this thread forever... if I can make it to 30 days sober, so can anyone! Just don't give up on yourself and don't pick up that first drink!

sobergirl77

Just checking in here, day 6 for me. To be honest, counting my days is becoming a drudgery. I feel like I am just waiting around for that magic number or something. I know I cannot drink ever again. I know it with every fiber of my being.

Colagirl, I appreciate your honesty and your willingness to come back here and start over! It takes a lot of courage. I know from experience.

Here's to a good sober day for everyone!

bostonluv

Me too. Well said.

Wish Forever December hadn't disappeared. Has anyone heard from her?

Dee74

She said she was working away from home for a week, if I remember correctly
(I'm not following you around btw)

bostonluv

LOL! I don't mind. It's nice to have a stalker!

HAH! Day 3 is here!

Going to bed. Thank you everybody for all your posts... reading them has really helped me get through this long night.
