Don't be sorry to anyone, Just forgive yourself, pick your self back up or ask for a hand, get with a sponsor and tell them, "I give up, I will do whatever it takes, and I mean whatever it takes!

Glad you made it back, have you found the trigger? Time for a change of plan maybe?

Hey Oddkins - you came back, that's what counts.

Last time I binged I was gone for years. You caught yourself & got back on track. Good to see you.

Dust yourself off, revise your sobriety plan, and prepare for success

Glad you made it back; many don't. What kind of advise or support can we give you? Do you have an idea of what you are doing to do next?

Thanks everyone. I think my trigger was just myself. I take responsibility. So, time to dust off and try again

Oddkins, have you thought of going to an AA meeting?

Some folks get all the support they need here at SoberRecovery, just by reading and posting. Why not join the "Class of" thread for the month you got sober, or sign in to the "24-Hour Connections" thread?

Welcome back Oddkins

Here comes that million dollar question - what are you going to do differently this time?

Welcome back!

After about a year of up and downs... Liver failure diagnosis, DUI, lots of other fun stuff. I have learned that I have handled most of the craving, most of the urges... Don't have problems with that anymore.... April-May was a 4-5 week binge for me. I know what triggered it, and I let myself have it.

I have detox'd myself more times than I care to admit and don't really do that anymore.

I have been mostly clean since then... I have learned the only times I have problems now is when I said, "yeah, go ahead, this is a calculated drink... f'it!".... Then, well... away I go!

I am now creating my "recovery plan", looking at what emotional responses are leading me to do this (avoidance, boredom, etc)... and looking at ways to strengthen telling Steve, my AV, to f'off.... In addition, I plan to discuss these items with my therapist. This is really the first time I have put a plan down on paper...

Best!
