I popped my cork today. Stress is not my friend! I snapped and chose to go against everything I worked for. I will hate myself in the am, but for now.....
I feel like a big baby. Ok I had some disappointments this week wtf. Nothing ever works out right nothing ever, ever works out right. EVER. If you could win an award for most f ups, My wall would be covered

So what changes do you think you can make in your life to enhance the success of lifelong sobriety?

Please get back on track quickly.

Please don't be driving around either.

I read your other posts about your recent situation
re GF-her drinking son.. playing music in bars.... etc.

Sure it was stressful...but you stayed stuck in it
way too long. You ignored the red flags
and that's what happened.
Sobriety lost it's priority.

I did not notice a mention of any involvement in a
local recovery program. That's where you will find your
way again.....IMO

Beth, please stop this relapse as quickly as possible.

You have two and a half years to build on, and you can get back on track.

I agree with the others. Consider it a slip or a lapse in judgment or whatever you want to call it, but dump the booze, dust yourself off, and get back on the road to recovery. You can still wake up tomorrow glad that you have put that behind you and are moving on.

You've proved you can stay sober and clean, Beth.
Read your old posts - nothing and nobody is worth risking going back there.

You can do this.

I strongly agree. And BTW the awards are all taken by me already.....
Please get back up and recover. Nothing in the world is so important then your sobriety

STOP. STOP. Im there already. Made a huge mistake, but im done, dont even feel all that great. I use to like this???

It's not funny, but this made me laugh. At least it the slip up wasn't too positive. You're done with it, now. Move on. We're here to support you.

My advice: Get yourself to a place where this behavior isn't so tempting to repeat. Nothing and nobody is worth losing your sobriety.

c4,

dont let The Rat run you around!

Some people call it a slip, but I think it's more like a slap, a slap across the forehead that makes us wonder, what the hell did I do that for?

Glad you're back and trying again. Hang in there. Your post helped me keep the plug in the jug tonight.

Aysha

My Bethy!! I havent seen you in so long! But I have been MIA myself.

I didnt see you other thread but I will look for it.

I am not going to repeat what has already been said.

I know you can do it. You know you can do it.
I dont know the situation. Just know I believe in you.

augustwest

well drinking sure isn't gonna make things work out any better.

What Carol says seems to make lots of sense.
Be wise

LexieCat

Please get yourself on track--I second the suggestion that you get into AA or NA as the case may be, and get yourself a sober network to help support you.

Dear Change...

Wow. 2 and a half years...amazing. Great...just get back up and move forward.
It is so true, there is nothing...no person or circumstance worth going back there for.
It's good you posted right away...keep posting, would you...and let us know how you
are doing. You CAN do this!

Hugs and prayers))))

yes I was very depressed I resorted to drinking, but theres nothing I can do to take it back and so I will just move on. I rewrote my personal rules to staying sober. Took back some control by separating myself, went back to reading and all the quiet little things I did to keep my sanity. To much negative energy and I loose track. as always thanks for the advice. the fact that I have the opportunity to come here to SR and vent immediately as life unfolds is an amazing thing. God bless you all

I had a rough day (or week) at work. Told someone I work with that I kinda wished I still drank, because tonight would be a really good night to just get obliterated.

Beth, your post helped me put those thoughts away. Thank you, and good on you for quickly realizing your error and cutting the booze. Tomorrow's a new, and hopefully alcohol-free, day.
