Hi folks- remember me?

Hello. I am Mikefreak, & I was a regular on this sit Round 4-5 years ago. At one point I had sober time of two years & ten months....
THEN guess what the hell happened?!!!
I've heard that the first relapse after being sober for awhile is worse than getting sober in the first place. I would have to agree. TOTALED my wife's car on booze and kilonopins, landing on its side. I could have killed someone ( not to mention myself), though I got a broken eye socket for all my trouble.when I got out of jail, my wife,understandably threw me out of the house- for 15 cold, hellish, hungry days.
Once word got around NO ONE would lift a finger to help me (not that I deserved it).i'll get around All the booze-pill fueled insanity in the coming weeks, but I wanted to warn you going back is NOT WORTH It. Talk about rock bottom! I wish to come back to sober recovery & get it together THIS TIME. I have about a month in & you'll be hearing from me ..A LOT.

Hi Mike, based on your initial post, a lifestyle change may be prudent. Posting can be therapeutic, if nothing else it can keep us occupied. Wish you the very best.

Welcome back Mike, sounds like a tough time. My relapse was pretty bad too, not worse than getting sober the first time I don't think but I think I felt worse having got some sober time under my belt..

A sober day is yours to keep no matter what comes before or after.

Hope you find lots of support here

I sure do remember you Mike. Sorry you've been through a nightmare, but happy you found your way back to us. I had that experience too. I'd been sober a few years and started up again. I almost didn't make it back. Never again.

You can do it Mike - keep on posting.

Wondering how you're doing, Mike. Haven't seen anything since your OP in which you suggested that you were going to be active here.

What's up?

Trust me! I get it! I had 5 1/2 years & relapsed last year. You're right...NOT WORTH IT & MUCH harder to get sober this time! I have almost 1 week.

Welcome back!
