Summerfall

I had posted a couple weeks ago about how I have 15 months, then drank feline for a week and was upset about it so stopping again.... that hasn’t happen tho. I’m right back to my old behavior. I feel like having that length of time is some of what kept me not drinking. And since I threw it away it’s hard to start over again.

I’m going to try. Just having a hard time.

Glad you're back Summerfall.

Hi summerfall
I don't believe that sober time is ever wasted - you retain all you learned and all you accomplished.

It's your AV (addictive voice) that wants you to disregard all that and to think of this relapse as a terrible thing that can only be dealt with by more drinking....

You stopped once.
It may take a little more effort this time, but I believe you can stop again.

Start putting as much effort into not drinking as you did drinking.
You'll get there

Wow you achieved 15 months that's really good going.
You will have done so much good for your body and mind in that sober time.
It is not possible to throw that quality time away. It yours you did the work and you own it!
Lots if people slip. So you have slipped for 3 weeks!
Pick yourself up dust yourself off and get back on the sober train with the rest of us.
Life is for living, waste no more time being slave to the poison.
Hope to see your posts over the coming months.

By the way I am on the last day of my first month after my own short slip.
(It's worth it, your worth it)

Best wishes, Dusty😎
