no, sometimes they are on top of one another and if the coloring is similar they kind of hide. I get to the very end sometimes and there's a piece missing; I have to move the puzzle a bit to find it.That's much easier online than IRL, too.

Thanks for the shoutout Mags and I would love another sober sailing trip with you all. Missed you all so much but was just too ashamed to come back here so did the only thing an active alcoholic does and cut myself off from all my support systems so I could drink more.
Done with that, realise I need all of my weekend buddies and starting over if you’ll have me xx

Thanks Bim, Kaily, Leigh and Owen! Would like/thank your posts but can’t get desktop view on my mobile for now haha. The boys (Alfie and Max kitties) are doing well, lockdown in the UK has been tough being on my own in the country and was the perfect excuse to drink. I did check the thread now and again and wanted to reply (esp to wish happy birthday to Mags) but just sat on the sidelines full of self pity with a drink in my hand. I know I can do better so here I am x

i don’t even know where to start , I have been the happiest I have been in years, my relationship with my hubby has never been better , we are doing up our house , I HAD. A DRINK . I FEEL LIKE AN ABSOLUTE FAILURE .
im almost 2 years sober . How can I possibly feel like drinking in the midst of such happiness ? Isn’t it supposed to work in reverse ? When you’re sad and down and feeling hopeless.
i am just so very disappointed in myself , I truly need some support and some advice.
I hope you can help me somehow. Thanks xxx
much love

I don’t know many times I drank because I didn’t trust the feeling of being happy, or I felt unworthy of it. Other times I simply resented not being able to ‘celebrate’ or just unwind in a ‘normal’ way.
I think the important thing is to make sure it stays at a one off. Look at what you’ve been doing for your recovery, and accept that’s not been enough.
Maybe as a start you can start to post daily here again. I know you’re in the July 13 thread but it’s not active enough for this. If you can’t face joining the August group at least post here or in the Under one year thread,
You’ve beaten this before and you can beat this again - this time tho I think you owe it to yourself to make it permanent.
you can do this!
