I was trippin...for real....
 
Tripping (totally mistaken, wrong, ignorant, having a brain fart....lol)

I was trippin to think that I could drink when my family visited from out of town with no problem stopping....

I was tripping to think that one day wouldn't lead to 8 days drinking while everyone else that participated is already over it and living life again....

I was tripping to think that a month of sobriety would merit me the right to start on destroying my body again....

I was trippin to think that pride should keep me away from SR when I am battling the Vodka entrapment.....

I was tripping to think that I can't get over it this time....

I was tripping to think that with the way I was feeling sober could compare to the way I feel foggy minded.......

I'm just tripping altogether.....but I have hope.....I will get rid of this thing and get back to life again. Sorry to disappoint...especially with my Sobriety songs and poems...that's who I wanna be. Not this girl with the red blotchy face and the miserable feeling waking up to a new day.

Yeah, lasting recovery means a lot of changes and lot of tough decisions, but it really is worth it I think :)

Glad you are back, I remember when you mentionned that you had people coming over from out of town and wanted to be sober.

Don't look back just ahead. Try to understand what your trigger was, so you can be prepared next time. You could say you are on anti-biotics and can't drink if you feel Preasured to drink. Just my 50 cents ;-)

Mae, no need to apologize, unfortunately it happens. Learn from it, figure out what went wrong and star again tomorrow. Know you can do it! We're here for you, you're not alone.
