We love you Change - you're part of the family. I'm glad you wanted to come back & tell about what happened. There'll never be a time when we won't want to see you.

I hope daily posting here will help - even if it's just a few lines to check in.

You can always come back here. This is the judgement free zone. When i last relapsed i had been sober for a few months. Long story short got into a relationship i was really happy in, got complacent, and drank. Turned into a 4 day bender alone in my house. Talk to the girl and told her my situation and she was very very supportive. I stayed with my brother for 7 days just in case I needed medical attention, bought some liquid vitamins, and multiple cans of soup. Spent those 7 days planted on the couch and told my brother to under no circumstance, let me go anywhere by myself. After that week I started working out again, got into martial arts again, and started doing things that I used to llove that drinkning prevented me from doing. Spent every day that week on this site and got myself back into meetings.

My ask of friends here. . .talk to me about how you recovered from relapse
I asked myself why, when everything was going so well sober, I was willing to risk the catastrophe that comes when I drink.

The answer I got was because I am addicted.

I didn't like that answer one little bit, because if the addiction is controlling me then I am not a free man. I am a slave. I refused to live as a slave.

Change is possible.
Hope is reasonable.
You can do this.
