Hi friends, still here and still working on myself. I wish I could say its been smooth sailing this time, but it has not. However, I am still working on it. You guys are always so great, and frankly I don't feel worthy of your attention. Sometimes I am afraid to post, because I have been THAT person on the other side (gently, I hope) scolding someone else because I had time under my belt. Therefore, I thought I was "special". Wow, how things change. Love to you all.

Not sure what worked for the two years you were sober, but get back to it. Add support, frequent SR...daily. And, no more excuses to drink.

I'm glad you're back.

So glad to meet you, FWG. I'm fairly new here, but my first post was titled "Wine drinking woman desperate to stop". So I have a feeling we may have things in common. I have only about 2 months of not drinking, but know to not be complacent. It could be gone in an instant.

I don't think you should hesitate to post. Even though I don't have much time here posting, just lurking for years, it seems to me that this place is for everyone at every bend and twist in the road.. not just for those with smooth sailing!

Please consider leaning on everyone for support. Everyone could be in your shoes and just wants to help!

Hi FWG
The important thing is that you came back. Keep coming back. Make the commitment. The past is in the past and no one is judging! We've all been there.
Don't give up. We're all here for you.

Scolding someone....I hate when I do that.

Thanks for the post. Glad you are back.

Have you talked about why you relapsed here yet?

Folks talk about never craving after some clean time....must be nice.

I still crave at times, but i have too much to live for.

My brain has been altered enough for this life.

The euphoric drunken feelings, off balance, weak, and shame filled following is illogical. It is all tied to my emotions.

I was watching...below deck....last night. This charter group drank from sun up till sun down. It definitely made me crave a bit.

But, I hate booze. I don't drink anymore.

Thanks.

'SPECIAL' MEANS WANTING TO HELP OTHERS AND FEELING HAPPY- WITHOUT PERSOANL GAIN. no one judges anyone here- if we all just posted when we are doing good- it would just be a social chat forum.
I remember a guy who avoided going to meetings- until he had been sober for 2 weeks, for credibility. Not the point is it? For those reasons, your shares are a value to everyone.
