Getagrip

I have to confess im going to be back to day 1 tomorrow, after only 1 week, i am a fool to myself. Thought i could pop and see a couple of friends for an hour, tried to be strong and drove to their house thinking i cant drink, had one then that was it, game over, my car is still there and ive drank too much, had an argument with my best friends who were also wasted, although i do think more than me and ive just got home in a taxi.

So annoyed with myself AGAIN, feel crap all over again

Getagrip , The only way I could keep my sobriety was to let go of my drinking friends . Or at least get some sobriety built up first to get into that kind of spot . Always make a plan
Dust off & push onward !!

It's a lesson a lot of us needed to learn getagrip - we need to make some changes to our lifestyle, at least until we're committed to never drinking again, no matter what.

I'm glad you're back right away

You were smarter than I was at times.

Yes, sometimes we just keep deceiving ourselves
over and over and yet over again
please realize
we must keep a very close eye on the one in the mirror

you can do this thing sober

good luck and many blessings

That's: been there, done that, so don't need to do it again

I think that is something most of us have had to deal with in early recovery. I hope you decide to stay away from those friends for awhile, at least.

I'm sorry you relapsed but glad you didn't drive home.

Im starting day one again tomorrow too! Allthough I only drank 3 and didn't get completely wasted like usual I still failed. Im working on a plan now. Glad you never left this site though.

It happened to me too, Get. I just wasn't ready to admit I'd never have control once it was in my system. One always led to many, every time. You're back now, and you learned something.

You said it yourself....."one week". Having one week of sobriety is not enough sober time to be around alcohol and drinking friends....just saying......don't "test" yourself. If you have to "test" yourself....you aren't ready to do it. I think you are awesome for knowing this drinking thing doesn't work for you

I commend you for taking a taxi. Think of the consequences of this one relapse, you got in a fight with your friend and your car is not at home. A long time ago I did things that were very unacceptable including substances, and the hardest thing to do was separate myself from that social circle (if you can even call it that). I guess it would be more accurate to say that I had to get away from that group of people, and it was hard. But once I did, my life turned around and I never looked back.

Glad your here with us keep working at it

Go at things again, tweak your plan and you'll get there!!

Glad you made it home safe.

How are you doing today?

Getagrip, me too I failed to plan last night and one glass of wine turned into several. I feel physically and emotionally rotten today.

Welcome back. Lesson learned. Onwards and Upwards.

Funny how we say to ourselves "this time will be different" and it's NEVER different. It will never be different this one time.
Hang in there, we've all been there.

We all do it, don't beat yourself up. Just be proud of yourself for 1) calling a cab, and 2) having the awareness to realize you messed up -- that means you can learn from it. Brush yourself off and start again, you may find you will have more conviction this time, because of what happened.
