Hello everyone,
I'm here to tell you that I slipped...
I was half way through day nine, then that was all she wrote.

Hubby and I were doing oil changes on our cars, I was also cleaning out the garage...he left for a moment, came back with some beer.
Now, mind you...I held out for at least 2 hours before a took the first drink.
Plus, he only drinks like every 3 months...thank goodness.
who ever is reading this...I'm sorry!
I let you down...to my 9 day friends (Tuco, Itsmytime, Tony13 and Yeagr8)
I've been following the connections of my friends, I am so truly sorry to each of you...I felt a special connection and bond,...I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship.
Again, I'm sorry

Hugs to all :ghug
XOXO

We'd only feel let down if you said to hell with it and never came back here to explain. This happened to me many times, and I put myself through needless hell playing with it. I hope you can get back your resolve and have success. Let us know how you're doing. Sending love.

I'm glad you're here now.

You can learn from this and move forward. Next time, you can have a plan to avoid that kind of situation.

Be kind to yourself.

The LAST thing you needed was someone drinking around you on day 9!!! You let no one down but yourself, Hon. I'm NOT trying to be mean, but your husband sould have the common sense/courtesy that he SOULDN'T be drinking around you right now, every three months or not.(!)
Try again. & use your head this time, will you?:ghug3

No need to apologize to anyone. Just glad you came back.

Many of us have slipped, many times. Forgive yourself, learn from it, and move forward again.:ghug3

Just start again with your sobriety....

Aysha

Yea..Just keep trying. Dont be sorry. Learn from it and move on.
Alot of us had false starts.
You will get there if you keep trying.
Hang in there.

To me you are one of the people that have touched me in this place. You brighten my day! Day one again! thats fine. Lets try to double that this time! I know you can!

No apologies!

Does your husband know that you're recovering? I've dealt with a similar situation with my wife. She has not only brought alcohol into the house, but offered me a drink.

Make no mistake, it is not her responsibility to change her life because I happen to be a lush.

Basically, I think that she would just like to have some normalcy. A husband who can split a bottle of wine over a nice dinner, or have a couple of beers during the game.

But the bottleslave has only two speeds when it comes to the drink: on and off. I have carefully explained this to her. Now she is much less likely to put me in a situation of temptation.

Anyhoo, time to get back on the horse.

Don't beat your self up. Take a deep breath and start anew. No whammy's with me.

I'm still her for the ride.

Hey girlfriend! We are all in this together. So you stumbled--so have I and many others. The important thing is you got right back up and came here. Hugs to you. :ghug3

Toomutch

Back on day one... Thats allright... The important thing is that you are back and willing to try again.
Have you talked with your husband about bringing alcohol into the house? I know this is your recovery, was just thinking it's too early. :ghug3

Hang in there friend, just keep trying!

Thanks guys!!!
I just knew that you still loved me...Just kidding.
I really appreciate your support and kind words...talk about making me feel better, you really know how to do it. Thanks for being here!
So, here I go again...Day 1. Well, at least I'm still in the March group.
Hey maybe once our Scooter's arrive this week, I will be too busy to think about the drink...because I'll be doing what I love, riding with hubby. I said it once and I will say it again...I personally feel that riding a scooter is therapy on 2 wheels...Yay!!!
I guess that I will talk to you all later.
You know I will be back through out the day, I totally LOVE it here and I love you guys.
Thanks again for everything and making me feel welcome.
I'm so happy that you didn't beat me up...lol.
See ya,
No I didn't forget the hugs either...Here ya go :ghug
XOXO

Glad you started again. You have done nothing more than what probably 90% of have done as well. We screw up up..... That's that! It's what we do from that point on which makes the difference. It might be wise to talk to your hubby about not having alcohol around, at least for some time, until you become more adjusted to your program of recovery... We are all here for you!!!

Now that the weather is getting nice. Those scooters will come in handy.
They sound like so much fun.
I seen this guy pull into the pizza shop across the street last night. He had a cross between a motorcycle and a 3 wheeler. But the 2 wheels were in front and one in the back. It was pretty cool.
I am definately goin to get out more this summer. I was clean all last summer but didnt do anything.
Hang in there. Good sober times are a comin.

shorty51

Good thing about it all is: It was just one night and you woke up regretting it! That to me is a true sign you know where you want to be. Day one is over, bring on day 2!

My hubby used to drink like once or twice a week...now he is just not really interested in it. The last time he drank was on Christmas Eve....I think he's doing great, I wish I could just drink every 3 months. He doesn't have a problem with it like I do.
I did have a pretty nice time with him last night...got a few things done and made dinner.
I don't think that I have to worry about him bringing any more beer home for a while.
He had his fill lastnight, even though he didn't have that many...about 6.
Plus, he's not the type to just stop and get it.
When he would buy it before, he would buy if for me and not touch it.
He's no lush , but I am.
I'm pretty lucky to have him in my life...I thank God for him.
Thanks for reading this and replying to this thread.
Hugs :ghug3
XOXO
