Resetting the clock.

Coming on the website today to reset the sober clock. Back down to day 2. I get so tired, so discouraged relapse after relapse.

Welcome back and there's no shame on your path to sobriety... no matter how many times you get lost. I would ask myself what I am going to do differently this time and proceed from there. God Bless.

Congratulations on Day 2, anonmick.

Think you need to throw out your old clock and start using one that has only sober days.

Sounds like the one you are using now is working 100% so far.

With the help of all your SR friends you can choose to never have another "Day 1" again.

Good Luck!

Absolutely agree! Don't give up trying. You will eventually get it right!!!

It will finally sink in ... You simply can not have just one drink. Never! One of these days you will finally accept the fact that there is no such thing as having just one...

Welcome back!!!

Happy to see you back and on Day Two.

Don't be discouraged - this can be the last time you have to start over.

Thanks for your support, everyone. I've found myself very "introspective" the last 24-36 hours... I guess when you finally stop drinking your mind can start dealing with things. Funny how that works.

So simple, yet I've avoided it the past ten years.

I'm going to a meeting today at noon. First time in about seven months.
