Day 5 Today was a soso day, I went to workout and just spend time with my daughter. My last attempt to stay sober I got to 29 days and for some dumb reason I thought I could moderate or just drink here and there. What started as a slip ended up to being a full relapse. I began drinking day after day every day after work. It took everything in my power to say no and start at day 1 again.. but here I am at day 5.. and moving.. |
I am glad you came back, tonib. And congratulations on Day 5. I hope you will keep posting and let us know how you are doing. |
Welcome back! You can do this again... And now you know for sure that the whole "moderating or here and there" won't work for you! You get a second chance..... Make the best of it. Wishing you lots of patience and strength on your way. Day 6 tomorrow..... Keep us posted! |
You never quit coming back- I love that about you xoxo |
way to go on day 5, tonib. the illusion that it would be different this time was a shackle for me, too. countless experiments way past the threshold required for statistical evidence that it ended up the exact same every time!! when i finally not only saw that but believed and knew it in my deepest self, i could quit and stay that way. |
Congratulations on day 5. I made the mistake of thinking I could moderate too many times to count. Now I know better :). I had to, as they say, "surrender to win." |
Try and remember what happens when you drink - it can be one of your greatest weapons next time, Toni :) D |
Glad you made it back. You made time to spend with your daughter. That's great. When I was drinking I saw my mum sporadically, and always with an eye on the time waiting to escape so I could drink. Now I've been sober a while, and the relationship I have with my mum is amazing. I always look forward to seeing her, and can enjoy hours and hours with her with no clock-watching involved (not on my part anyway - hopefully not on hers either haha). This has been one of my greatest unexpected treasures that sobriety has gifted me. Emotionally aware time with my loved ones. Priceless. |
Congrats on day 5... the only time u fail is when u give up... as long as you keep coming back...it's gonna stick hopefully this time...I'm rooting for u |
