Last night I drank alcohol. For some stupid reason I thought I should give modification one last chance. This morning I dumped out the remainder of what was in my apartment. I am upset with myself, but I won't let that get the best of me. Quitting drinking alcohol is easier than my mind is making it out to be. All I have to do is stop putting it in my mouth and live my life! Anyways, here I am at day one. Hopefully this will be my last day one.

Glad you are not letting a bump on the road become a sinkhole.

You can do this!

Glad to hear that you are back on your feet and starting over.

You never have to have another Day 1.

You can do this; keep moving forward.

Well done on dumping it and getting back on day 1 you can do this!

Good point Carl.

The best thing about day 1 is your more determined than ever to give up and stay sober. The real challenge comes when you convince yourself, your cured. Your mind plays tricks on you.

Hey jazzy
Ok you had a little stumble but your back :-)
The 'stupid reason' you thought you should give moderation another chance is because ud love to be able to. I would too but we know we CANT control drink other wise we wouldn't be here (especially this early on but quite likely ever).
The main thing is though you haven't let it start a downward spiral and your back again
You can definitely do this! And yes it's not gonna be easy but it's going to be so worth it in the end (hugs) xx

That is a great question soberwolf. I will need to do some reflecting and figure out which tools to add to my toolbox.

Soberwolf

Volenteering, group therapy, you could speak to your local alcohol addiction services

Jazzy.. I have found that stumbling and beating myself up over it will make me much more likely to fall again.. Like everyone said day one is a clean slate ... Because you slipped up doesn't mean you are doomed to do it again!! I think anyone would gladly be here for you when it's the most challenging .. We have been there!!

Great job jazzy. Head up...you can do this!
