I really need people that can relate right now. Thank you SOO much guys! I had 95 days sober. I was doing so good! 
Slipped on day 96 and had a shot of vodka. Slipped and slipped and kept slipping til last night with a slip and FALL! Eleven days of h$ll! I really want to be sober. Day 1 today. Last day one. Maybe this relapse served as a reminder why I do not drink. Feel like poop! 
Thanks for coming to my aid....HUGS to you all!

I'm really sorry, Stepping. I know the misery a relapse can cause.
But, you can rally and move on. What caused you to take a drink? Try to figure it out and use this as a learning experience, so you don't need to do this again.

Honestly I can not tell you what set off the relapse. I was not mad, depressed, sad or anything...I was happy. Guess that stupid alcoholic brain told me I could just have one and be "normal" I CAN'T!!!!!! Grrrr!

stepping - I've had my handful of relapses and it's tough. I know how you feel right now since I'm on Day 3 and getting over a 1 wk bender.
The fault I made was NOT coming here first before heading to the store for beer that day. That said, I most likely would have changed my mind.
So, just hang here and we'll share the support with you.

I do what I have to do everyday which inlcudes asking for a day of sobriety, a meeting, talking to another alcoholic and thanks for a day of sobriety.

Stepping - so glad to see you back.
That same thing happened to me. I was doing well, then decided to have 'a drink'. I was off for a very long time. Fortunately you've come back for support before this turns into a long binge (or worse). I don't know what caused me to make that stupid decision, either - I know I can't touch the stuff. After that last relapse, though, I was convinced - and now have almost 5 yrs. It turned out to be an educational and valuable 'slip' that I had. It was my final one - forever.
You can get back on track, we know you can.

Welcome back..
I know for me my slips came when I felt to good. I got to well to fast .. Good news is that you can learn from it also..
SLIP= Sobriety Lost Its Priority ... I know that happend to me more than once..
Those 95 days are not lost.. You grew and learned in that time. You had a hic up in road.. Its okay just get back and re-intoduce yourself and start working ..
