10 days later I failed now back to day 3
 

Hi

Happy xmas everybody.

Ive been feeling really upset that after all the support I failed after 10 days. Silly really, used to alcohol to treat my the underlying problem - anxiety.

I am back to day 3 of being sober and my first ever Xmas sober with family.

I feel like I let myself and you people down. :gaah:gaah

Hi Josafe Happy Christmas, you haven't failed, you are working on getting sober like all of us. Day three is awesome. xx

Thanks.

I took some advice and been advised that taking some B vitamins and Saint Johns Warts will help.

I guess I had to understand the route cause.

But thanks for not giving up on me.

Hi Josafe liking your thinking, omega 3 is a really good supplement as well, hadn't heard about the St. John's Wort as a help but sounds good to me. I go to AA don't know if you are using any support program's.. It has made all the difference to me. I have been trying to get sober for years. Sitting at just over 2 months and feeling great. 24 hours at a time is a great thread here because it helps me stay accountable. xx

It isn't automatic, dont beat yourself up over it, your back on track and thats the goal.

Thank you all.

I dont want to feel like im wasting any one's time. I do want to get over this.

Thank you for the positive and kind words.

Welcome back josafe - no one wastes anyone's time here.
It's just not like that here.

I daresay nearly everyone of us has been where you are.

if anxiety's a problem for you, I'm glad you're tackling that too this time.

I hope what you're doing will help, but if it doesn't I recommend you see your Dr :)

Like others said, don't stress about it. As long as you keep trying is what counts!

Don't worry Josafe, i was on day 13 and slipped and now back on day 4. We are still sober for Christmas and on the home stretch for new year, get through that and how good will that feel to tackle the new year :-)
