Trying,
I will check back tomorrow in hope you followed through, saw your doc, and are moving forward with your life. Trying, relapsing is not ok, but happens to some until they actually decide to quit unconditionally, not just as long as it is comfortable, or until you forget the last binge. You sure need to give yourself credit for being worth the effort. I never thought I wouldever be able to respect myself again, let alone others. Some things we do for ourselves feel very much like miracles, simply because we were too busy keeping up appearances, or gave up completely and forgot how comfortable our own skin can be.

I hope you give yourself that miraculous feeling chance. I did and grabbed it for the lifesaver it was, and would not let go.

Hi Trying,

Hope your appointment went well. Tomorrow will be day 12 for me, and I have failed many times before too. This time I started by making an appointment with my doctor and a counselor, I have also found great support on here.

Keep posting snd reading, you can do it!!!!

I believe it's the old adage that nothing worth having comes easy. It is a struggle to make the decision to stay sober and then continue making that decision. We all got ourselves into this and we can all get ourselves back out again. A while back someone said that if I put the same effort into my recovery that I did into my using then I will be fine.
