I did do well and now I have messed up. I went from no drinking to not often to ohhhh look vodka. I've messed up like a total loser ive been using here on n off for a year
Sorry I've had a drink n tonight thinking I can cope with this n the world. I'm so sorry as I was doing awesome

So, get back to doing well again. Which means pour out whatever you have and put down the drink. There is no such thing as "not drinking too often." It always leads back to full-on drinking.

Zombie girl, can you pour out the rest? You can get back on track.

justinJustQuit

yeah you can definitely get back on track. On day 1 here. You can do it.

mecanix

proof that you did well in the past is proof you can do it again as far as i'm concerned .

I have to agree with the others, you can do it zombiegirl. Also pour out anything that you have in the house.

Buggirl

You can do it, but only You can want to do it, for YOU!

zombie girl, the way I see it you have two choices right now.

1. Finish the drink in your glass and probably pour another. Wake up tomorrow feeling low and guilty and use this as an excuse to keep drinking.

or

2. Walk to the kitchen pour the contents of your glass and the rest of the bottle down the sink. Write on a piece of paper "Not this f-c-ing time" and shove it in the neck of the bottle or can and go and sleep it off.

Tomorrow, wake up knowing your back on the path to sobriety, you are in control.

Don't feel sorry. Just put it down again and try to stay sober.

Welcome bk Zombiegirl

i agree can you dump the rest ?

Don't beat yourself up too bad. You can't change the past. Get back on the horse. Are you attending AA, counseling or any other recovery groups for extra support?

You can do this!!! (((Hug)))

Start of a new year ZG. Seems a great time to redouble your efforts and rediscover all that resolve that had you on the right path. We both know you can do it again but you need to start somewhere so now seems like a good time.

This kind of thing happens to some of us. Not all, many simply straighten out and never look back. But for some of us, it turns out, there is more to our problem than we thought.

We need to look further and do more to find a solution. Maybe treatment, maybe a long term program of recovery. I know it doesn't look very attractive and may be quite inconvenient, but if we keep doing the same old thing in the same way, we will get the same disappointing result.

You can do it zombiegirl!!!

Sounds like it tricked you into thinking you could moderate because for a while it seemed like you could. I fell for that same trick. No matter how it starts, you know how it's going to end. Stand up, start over, and figure out what you need to stay sober. Staying on this site can help you with that, and there are lots of other resources available.

I poured the rest away. I feel so rubbish this morning. I'm going to sort this out once and for all.
Can't do with feeling so naff
thanks for ur support guys xxxx

Hi Zombiegirl, don't allow yourself to feel despondent. You did great before and you will do great again. Glad you're here, trying again. Keep moving forward...

malcolmsloan

Hi zombie girl. You can do this again. I remember your posts in the past and I know that you have a lot of strength and determination.
Onward!
