I ****** up :-(
 

Was going well til Friday then everyone in work was on about booze. I feel so bad :-(

What can you do to strengthen your plan, Zombie?

Hi Zombie. Sometimes it takes us a while to realize it's never going to be fun again, & only brings us misery. Once we know that, it gets easier to say goodbye to it. You can still do this.

I don"t know if you have seen the great SR thread on plans.

I'll post a link in a minute.

As promised, Zombie:

It's tough, Zombie. Today you can start anew!

It's going to be ok brother

How are you going Zombie?

I read the recovery plan post, there's a lot of interesting ideas.
Haven't had a drink today, when it stops raining,I'll take my dog for a walk.
I'm annoyed at myself but I'm putting it behind me.

Keep saying the serenity prayer Zombie and concentrate on what is ahead of you and not what is behind you.

Strength to you.

Tony

Meetings?

Yep a lot of interesting ideas- IME choosing a plan and committing to it completely was the thing for me. Debating options, thinking about "things"... put off my better life for a long time. T didn't have to but that was my choice. Good luck.

Don't sweat it Zombie I've messed up a lot too lately the best thing to do is keep trying.

awesome !!!

heres a chip for ya

Thanks :-)

Today I've done a lot of tidying and cleaning. It's nice to see the clutter go.

Those occasions like a work party or friendly get-togethers really test our resolve to sobriety. I'm sorry you drank, but maybe you can take it as a lesson learned. I have said before that in early sobriety we have to be a bit selfish, meaning we must put ourselves first. Its the only way.

It's liberating, isn't!!!

Spoiler alert: So is sobriety :)

Keep moving forward, Zombie.

The really good stuff is just ahead.

Stay close. We are here for you.

I've been reading a lot of the bookmarked posts at the top of this forum and reading what people have gone through in their initial days,weeks,etc of sobriety.

I think i can count myself lucky that my detox isn't physically that bad. I don't have dts,the sweats or palpations. It's more mental for me. Where i am, all the off licences are closed for Easter. I always find the first 24hrs mentally exhausting. Last week i was sober for the longest I've been in over a year so although i know i slipped last week, i can see where i went wrong.

Thanks everyone for your help and support x
