Hey everyone,
It is so nice that this site is out here. I've been on here alot lately and it has really helped me through the long weekend! I'm on Day 28 and am actually anxious to get back to work to get my routine back. I have been at this for almost 4 years now and have kept coming back. I had 160 days of sobriety but had a one night relapse 29 days ago.
Life is pretty good overall but i have some fear creeping into my life over the relationship with my girlfriend. It's been kind of rocky and she's been distant. I'm trying to keep busy while helping others.

Hi Garrison - do you think there's a connection between your slip and your relationship problems?

Hi Dee,
Yeah i'm almost positive. I know alot of people say to stay out of relationship the first year but she doesn't drink and it just felt nice.

I think the best thing you can do for yourself now is commit to recovery.

I know it's hard resist the urge to fix everything instantly...but I'm glad I spent a little time by myself...made me rely less on others to make me happy, if that makes sense?

Congratulations on 28 days, and especially how you were able to get back on the wagon after only 1 day, that is very fortunate!
