Hey I'm on Day 19 myself and understand how it happens. I have fallen off the wagon several times at around two or three weeks. I haven't hit 30 days in a very long time, but I'm determined to get there and beyond now, one day at a time. Frankly my last couple of slips have scared the s**t out of me. I am no longer even slightly functional when I drink; I just need to always remind myself of this. I'm sure with your very recent history you can no doubt do similar.

Hi, Holly. Im glad you're on day 3. It sure as hell beats day 1, right? I have been there so many times in the past. Swearing off alcohol forever, only to drink again and again. I thought for sure i was a hopeless case. Today is day 50 for me and i can hardly believe it myself. Ive done it differently this time though. I go to an outpatient group once a week and 3 AA meetings. I can be randomly tested for alcohol at anytime from my outpatient counselor so that helps keep me in check. I used to hate goings to meetings but i found a small group that i really love. We all know whats going on with each other and we support and care for each other. Believe me, there are times i really want to drink but I remember that it's not going to end up any differently this time. Its going to be hangover hell and maybe worse. And I really want to learn who I am without a substance to interfere with that. Im 49 years old....its long over due. I am rooting for you! We all stop sooner or later...i hope its by choice rather than by terrible consequences.

Hi Holly....
I'm real new again at this too. Sobriety is better I think. And.... I actually think it's getting less and less weird to actually be a sober person in society. Or maybe that's just my age group - most have grown up already at my age perhaps. Whatever that is..... hope you stay with it. Hope I do too.
