Update Drank two ciders last night. |
I missed the pre-update update. Is that more or less than you were supposed to drink? |
Welcome back Frixion. I think last time you were here you were heading out on a camping trip...did something happen between then and now? |

well Frixion, if you've ever seen a steeplechase, early sobriety is kind of like that. People sometimes fall or stumble but they get back up and stay in the race. |
Back on the horse frixion. 2 deinks is a tiny relapse, put the breaks on now and dont let it turn into a really damaging bender. |

I was convinced I was going to teach my self how to drink properly. Even now I'm having trouble with those thoughts. I know alcoholics have no control over alcohol, but I keep wondering if I can teach myself. Ugh. For me, spending a lot of time here reading about others experiences, reading the big book and attending some AA meetings early on were very helpful in teaching me to accept my addiction. When I tried to fight it I always lost - but when I surrendered/accepted that I simply am not capable of drinking "normally" , and that I never, ever will be, things really turned around. |

Frixion, you still have the positive experiences of the 75 days sober. You can move on, but I do think it's important that you try to figure out a healthy way to deal with the AV when it pops up. |
I have a habbit myself of dipping my toes in the water. I may even keep dipping in moderation for a time. But I know something happens in my brain even after the first toe dipping, and like a magnet my body is drawn to alcohol and it becomes difficult to disconnect (mentally and physically). The real trick is a fool proof plan to avoid that first sip. |
75 days is brilliant and the AV voice can really pop up despite being unwanted! You're here which is great, and there's so much information on how the folks here deal with the AV :-) |
Frixion... Its okay your on a journey and sometimes life does get to much and your automatic response would be to drink like mine would be to but every day you keep fighting and saying no you will get stronger. Dont beat yourself up about it just remember start again and keep positive were all here for you :) |
You can do this Frixion have you got a plan |
Take something from your error and move on. |
