Eclipse

Looks like I am the first one in the class of April. Day one again. I am so discouraged, I just don't even know what to do anymore. It is really starting to affect my family life. I just can't seem to get a hold on it. But here I go again.

Never give up on yourself and your sobriety. I was a chronic relapser early last year but finally managed to stay sober over six months. Forty some days ago I forgot all I'd learned while sober and drank again. Now I'm back on the wagon for good. Just don't drink today. Repeat every morning. You can do this!:ghug3

Day two here for me. No withdrawals to speak of. Slept really great. Woke up to two inches of snow. What month is it?

Isaiah

I'm an April fool.

Forgot how utterly depressing a relapse is.

CarolD

No fools here .....
April is an awesome time to find sobriety

I too have April as the month of my current recovery.

Music man

Just remember the class is a commitment!!
oh and I have 61 days !!!!

Eclipse

No fools here Isaiah, at least we are trying!

I certainly wish I were where you are hardwired...but I am determined to get there. Good for you.

Day 3 here. Feeling okay. Wish I didn't have the thoughts of drinking in the back of my mind all the time. I hope with time it will fade. It just wears me out.

Day 3 is wonderful C!! I love the positive tone. And yes, keep the 1st of April as your date. Make sobriety a part of who you are. We're all here hoping only the best for you.

When I was having intrusive dark thoughts
my psychiatrist suggested this mind trick.

Each time a negetive idea popped up
immediately replace it with 2 positives.
Saying the affirmations aloud ...if possible.

Yes it did work and I felt so nutso
I often ended up laughing at myself.

I have no idea if this would work for you
but......why not give it a go?

Forward is the best direction...:ghug3

Thanks guys,

Nice work Maggot and Eclipse!

Eclipse

I am having so much anxiety, that I just want to drink to calm down. I know this will go away, but it is making me absolutely crazed. I am eating, taking extra b6 and drinking lots of water, but the way my mind is racing is just insane.

Way to keep it up bartender and maggot (where did that name come from?! )

Maggot4Life

It comes from the Band Slipknot, for me they are the most inspirational and real bands out there today so i decided that it was a good name for me
