Get back on the horse. What triggered you to drink?

Coldfusion

No need to apologize to us--it's good to have you back!

Hi savarna, baby steps, one at a time, day by day, concentrate what's right in front of you not the big void out there, hold our hands, we will steady your walk xxxx

Being around new people I met a new friend and needed to feel calm :-(

I'm sorry you drank Savarna but I'm glad you got back

It's different to change when we drank for social anxiety - I just had to accept that drinking was not an option for me anymore, and I had to be ok with feeling uncomfortable for a while.

The more social occasions I did sober the better I felt.

I'm not the most sociable person ever, but I do ok - and I don't need to drink over it

You're not the first person to relapse and won't be the last. Forgive yourself, learn from it, and move forward again.

Many of us...most of us...relapse in early sobriety. I know I did.

Don't give up, you can do this

savarna

I once was sober two years but relapsed have found it hard since

venuscat

So proud of you girl....you haven't missed a beat this time.
We fall down, but getting back up is hard.
You are doing that....just stick with us and take all of the support you need.
We are all here for you.

Love Venus xx

It's great you're back on the sober train!

I think it gets harder as the years mount up Savarna - it's not impossible tho.

Can you think of anything you can add to what you've been doing so far?

Those relationships both new and old seem to often be a trigger for relapse. This time around in my sobriety I've had to really stay strong on not giving up on my sobriety no matter what. Clearly sobriety is important to you because you posted about starting fresh

bllit

i'm on day 1 again we can do it

Hevyn

You came back to tell what happened - and you aren't giving up. That's what counts.

Jimuk

Hey Savarna, 2 years. Imagine the feeling when you reach 3! Glad you came back.

seeks

I can't count how many day 1's i've had. Good for you for getting back here!

Raider

Keep on trying. That's all you can do.

savarna

Hang in there!!! No one has ever said this was easy. Focus on breathing and take in surroundings. Being present in the moment helps me be okay with situations I don't really feel comfortable in.
